You also fail to appreciate that marriage should be based on love, and not merely getting physical or for convenience sake. To Arman: Looks like sex is not sacred to you.

Do a business. It never has night terrors, needs a hug, does kindergarten graduation, brings you a flower or pees on you. Kids are forever. (my daughter is 25).

It's a weighty decision, one that we can totally appreciate. We're a childless couple who would dearly love to hear the pitter patter of little feet in our household. You and the readers of your blog may not know there are nearly 3 million unintended pregnancies per year in America. So while it may not be the right time for you to parent a baby, 'cause you're an entreprenurial woman whose web based business is in its infancy (pun intended), and developing a business plan is your priority, if you are pregnant you can consider other alternatives, namely, developing an adoption plan. We hope some brave and courageous woman wants to develop a plan with us.

For guys babies are evil but for girls babies are a way of earning money sitting at home. Your gf divorces you and takes away your kids and then sits at home, watches tv and buys sony cameras with the child support money. Man I don't know why stupid people like you get married and have sex without condoms. Seriously enjoy your life, have sex with strangers using condoms and don't get married and have kids. You willl thank me for this tip later. The moment your gf/wife gets pregnant, it's a huge risk. You become her bitch for the rest of your life. Don't do it. Concentrate on making money. Enjoy life. My prayers are with you. Um I recommend that you don’t have babies because if you do and your wife divorces you you are going to have to pay child support until the baby is 18 years old.

Here are my thoughts; I'm a forty-two year old father of three. My twenty-four year old son just completed a four-year stint in the Navy. My twenty-one year old daughter is living and working locally, and I have a twenty-one month old son, Mitch. We call him phase two. You are a young man. At twenty-nine you have plenty of time to put your all into building ShelfMade (a great idea by the way!) into everything you want it to be. You also have time to begin having children in a few years once you've stabilized your professional life. I've had children young (eighteen and in the Army), and I've now had them later in life. In my opinion, you are able to be a much better parent with a little seasoning. I certainly tried with everything I had when I was younger, its just that I am wiser now. I know what I want in life and have my priorities in perspective. I'm trying to launch http://www.globalwonk.com now. But I know that my true legacy will be my children, and their children, and the impact they make on the world. I wish you all the best on both your professional and personal goals. You sound like the kind of guy that will make both happen and be successful whenever you decide to embark on parenthood. Best Regards, James Patrick Miller jim@jamespmiller.com Great post.
