Yet many of us do it over and over and over!

If you're talking about the questions on the computer screen with the baby, I can think of better test questions.

How about a test that a dad or mom must make at least $8/hour for every kid they plan on having?

Four kids = $32/hour

My point is that people don't think it through about having unprotected sex or even when thinking they want kids. As both a bio mother and an adoptive mother, we had to jump through so many hoops to adopt and all the time I was thinking "I wonder if people would go through one half of this inquisition to have kids biologically". I'm sure we all could make terrific test for prospective parents.

How about it? Even as temporary foster parents, we were grilled with the most unbelievable and invasive questions, not to mention the house inspection, etc. I know what you're talking about!

Does the OP know the difference between "having sex" and "becoming a parent"?

I don't know if I followed the right links, but all I saw w as a picture of an angry baby and a list of 6 benefits the baby wants you to forego, and a button to watch two loudmouth morons making fools of themselves in a mall. Forgot to mention "Quit your job and stay home with me". If there is more to it than that, somebody explain how to navigate the link.

Did everybody click "Send me more stuff like this"?
