Most of our friends either are trying, or already have young children. I can't help but feel sorry for their kids, and almost resent them (parents) for being selfish enough to not even think twice about what they are bringing them into. They just decide they want a baby and go for it, never thinking about the actual unborn child itself. They're all great people / parents or I wouldn't be associated with them. I know these kids will have a great upbringing, and for the most part be molded into useful members of society (at least statistically they should, coming from said upbringings). But I can't help thinking of it as anything other than somewhat selfish. I am typically the "negative thinking, worst case scenario" kind of guy, that over analyzes simple tasks and situations though. Could just be me.

We are all called to be salt of the earth my friend, but as we all know, salt can only preserve meat for so long before it finally decays.....
My wife and I have 3 small children and may have more, my mindset being that we (Christians) should do our best to help spread God's word, grow His family and ultimately produce more salt to help this quickly decaying world from falling any faster.....Plus I really love kids......
You and your lady friend should contribute to our team, we will need all the help we can get.
