		<description>My guess is that there's serious grass-is-greener stuff going on with the parenting/not-parenting thing. Before the mother of my boyfriend's kids was a mother, she was a miserable pothead so desperate to be a mom that she made absolutely sure her new hubby would immediately procreate with her. They did, twice. Then a few years later, she meets a single childless pothead dude at work and fantasizes about how unbelievably awesome it would be to be single, childless, and partying. So she left her husband and kids. Within a few months, she was engaged and pregnant again. Five months later, she dis-engaged and aborted. Now, guess what? Engagement ring is back on and she's off the pill once more. In fact, she's also wearing the engagement ring from her previous marriage, and thinking about either abandoning her kids completely or trying to get complete custody of them, and refusing to finalize her divorce even as she plans her wedding. 

My guess is that some women have been taught, somewhere along the way, that having babies and getting married is a really good way to deal with emotional instability, instead of, you know, spending some time on your own, tai chi, going to therapy. Clearly, she's got serious emotional problems of her own, but the only answer she can come up with is popping out kids or getting rid of them. This is why kids can't exist merely to satisfy someone's need to define themselves or move their relationship "to the next level," whatever that means. The kids that are already here, fine, I'll celebrate their existence. I adore these particular little boogers. But most of the rationales that people develop for creating them in the first place are beyond sickening.</description>

		<description>"single women live longer than married women, while married men live longer than single men."

Not true.  Married people of both sexes are healthier and live longer than single people.  The difference is greatest for divorced and widowed people, and smaller for never married people.  This is true on average, not for specific indivduals.   Health info from the CDC:

Couldn't find life expectancy info, but I've read it there before.</description>

		<description>happily for me, other people in my family have spawned enough to provide me plenty of cute babies and little kids to coo over, play with, love, and send home. this has also forestalled any desperate urge I might've had to reproduce myself.  being a spinster aunt agrees with me enormously.  I highly recommend it.</description>

		<description>True ae!  I have a dog because I want and love dogs, not because I wish I could have children.  Kids are adorable brats while dogs are just plain adorable, it's not even a close race, I'll take the dog any day.</description>

		<description>Hey White Bear -

Last I heard, single women live longer than married women, while married men live longer than single men.  Which means that, if I got married right now, I'd (statistically) be handing over actual years of my life to the man I married.  Talk about your disincentives!

I'm not sure if the stats are adjusted for parents/non-parents within the single/married numbers, as I'm pretty sure parents also have reduced life expectancy.   

Either way: not all single people die sooner.  You are correct that we do, however, have to do our own laundry.  Which is fine with me, since I never have to deal with anyone else's laundry either.  A worthy trade-off in my view.</description>
