Birds and babies

[Joe_the_Lion]

After watching Violet on Corrie, I was just wondering why birds are so bloody gaga when it comes to wanting a baby.

I appreciate that the peasant class only want one so they can jump the council house list but why the rest?

Biological determinism is criticised by many a dungaree wearing feminist, so what is it that makes seemingly normal women want a baby so much?

You only release an egg once a month for 30 or so years, whilst the stronger sex release millions of salty tadpoles for their entire post-pubescent life. Is this why? Are the life giving apparatus more sacred?

I have been married and yes, looking back, it may have been nice to have a little wardy (the world can never have too many brain surgeons), but it never bothered me, nor her either. I have never looked at an ovulation chart in my life. Bloody things.

So apart from the little side questions, why do the fairer sex feel it is so important to have babies. I would argue it is a biological thing as opposed to social thing, otherwise there would be more adoptions.

You know what I was told when I once complained like you ruge? " If you dont like it,dont read it!" thats all I can advise.

And you, being the english thoroughbred never spoils things for others ward? Sorry, I meant inbred:-))

I really think that most couples push out babies is because they think that they are expected to: it's 'normal', our parents want a grandchild, let's keep the family name going, they smell nice, they'll look after us in our old age. We have never had, as a choice, children and have had a great life and still are. I listen to my other family members' and friend's stories about raising kids and I'm quite happy not to have had any. Of course, people with children are going to vehemently disagree with me but then they have to don't they: they can't send the kids back!
