Re: Families of the Future?

I often think how difficult it must be when a parent remarries and has more children by their new partner,& may have children from a previous marriage. My friends granddaughter married a divorcee , he had a young son,the boys mother had also a daughter by a previous marriage ,so this young boy has a half sister , his Dad now has 3 little boys by his new wife [ my friends granddaughter] so he now has 3 half brothers as well. Another friends son with 3 young sons married a woman with a son & daughter ,they then had a son a7 they all lived together [now all adults]

Re: Families of the Future?

But I wasn't saying about remarrying, I just find it difficult to think of 2 ladies meeting on an internet dating site, then marrying, then going onto another website to find a young male to make their future children. (didn't know sperm donor sites existed even, I don't get out much ).

These women looked for someone young, clever, (he had passed some exams), obviously fertile, and willing. It wasn't as if it was done professionally in safe surroundings, this bloke went to their flat, supplied his sample, gave it to the women and left. The women themselves did the insemmination.
I sincerely hope they asked for some sort of health proof.

I can't imagine wanting a total strangers baby, but I suppose being old(ish), and never being a lesbian or infertile, I wouldn't understand.

Re: Families of the Future?

My old mind is just not geared up for all that is changing so fast around me, we are witnessing evolution in action, this is how it’s going to be and nothing can be done about it, whatever will be will be. Personally I give up, it may be selfish of me but that’s how I feel, all I want now is peace, a few jars, a good cigar and a bit of a laugh, they can mate with monkeys in the future for all I care anymore.

Re: Families of the Future?

I was about to say if you were infertile you may understand, lesbians have long used donors the only difference here is the couple are both pregnant by the same man and thinking about it that seems great as the children will be half brothers or sisters properly blood related.

Re: Families of the Future?

Gone are the days when we could be openly biased and/or abusive to gays of any gender. (Can't say I ever was, even though I have always felt some discomfort about it) ( My bad ). But good riddance to such behaviour.
It has to be about the Children of such liaisons. Provided they are bought up with love and caring and taught human values, who cares a R/A.

Re: Families of the Future?

Getting pregnant is both pleasurable and very easy to do.
Delivering a child is most painful and very difficult.

Now, if it was the other way round, wouldn't things be very different?

Re: Families of the Future?

You do make me laugh, Jem.

Re: Families of the Future?

Now there's a thought Hanfonius.

Re: Families of the Future?

I didn't think I was remotely abusive about gays??? It matters not to me.
All I meant was its all seems very Sci-Fi and clinical to me.

Re: Families of the Future?

Well I will NEVER accept such practices, how on earth are kids of the future ever going to be responsible if thay don't have a father at home to show them right from wrong.

I despair of modern youth and refuse to have anything to do with any charities that are set up to try and correct the wrongs of these misogenists, egotistical little brats even if they can reproduce, they are worhtless to humanity.

But of course humanity itself (Most of it anyway) is horrible you only need to look at the 94 year old neandethal man next door to me to see that
