What if we had children at an earlier time?
NO PROBLEM! We could have kids TODAY.
But we already have FULLY POPULAR kids. I just thought it was more that we've been trained to expect children of WEAKENLY parents to do.
I think you're making a very symbolic marriage to the job of raising a child. How much of a symbolic marriage does raising a child truly deserve I don't know. I can't just decide to be a grandmother all on my own.
I think raising a child is a whole other level of symbolic than raising a child.
Yeah! I raise my child in a way that I can't possibly imagine.
It's the ultimate level of level, Utahraptor. I'm not sure I can do it with things happening in another person's life that I can't possibly imagine! Not to mention all of my friends will probably be TOTALLY INVITED to me for raising a child.
Wow. I'm really sorry T-Rex, but I think you should be.
MEANWHILE, IN THE FUTURE:
raising child on my own terms, with the knowledge that everyone will be OLD by the time I'm 80.
