Forum Overview :: Tansin A. Darcos's Alter Ego :: How about giving your wife a rest?

[quote name="Commander Tansin A. Darcos"]They interviewed someone on <i>Today</i> this morning, didn't see who he was, but he mentioned he was doing some project, possibly some charity, because he and his wife have had four kids in 3 1/2 years, he felt he wanted to do something. And I thought, "how about allowing your wife to have some other occupation than brood mare?" Four kids in 42 months means she barely had the minimum recovery time, about six weeks, that a woman is supposed to get after delivery before having sex again, let alone before getting pregnant again. Hey, guy, nothing says you and your wife can't fuck like rabbits, but consider using contraception so you don't wear her out! Leaving a woman "barefoot and pregnant" <i>all the time</i> is so 1970s at best, I think. At one point my sister decided to come along and buy a bicycle when I announced that I was buying one so I could get some exercise, and she decided to buy one too. She got talking to the store owner and he mentioned that his wife is pregnant with their fifth kid, they've been married for 26 years, and they timed them so that each one would be four years apart so he'd have enough money to pay for all them to go to college. Now <i>that</i> is a <i>great</i> way to have several kids, he isn't running this woman like a printer or photocopier operated on the maximum duty cycle! [/quote]
