Well, I suppose I'm happy my prediction was accurate, mylydiamy. It sucks that's the way it usually is. I'd appreciate having kids...once I'm old. I'd like to have had kids...I just don't want to raise them. I guess that's male biology for you. Why did you two decide to have a kid?

My wife's family is the opposite. Almost everyone is married with kids ...parents....grandparents...sibling...most aunts and uncles. The only ones who got divorced were two of her cousins- both pre-kid, thankfully. Weird. Maybe I'm just projecting. Her parents though...they seem relatively content, but lead different lives. Her mother avoids any confrontation with anyone at almost all costs, too, so that might smooth out the rough spots.
