Reasons to have kids

"40 reasons to have kids," Karen wrote in her blog.

Sitting around, I hear these reasons from my dear friends: "Because I wanted someone to carry on the family name," "Because I wanted someone to look after me in my old age," "Because we wanted to hear sounds around the house."

Some people call a baby "a symbol of our love", feeling that just 2 of them would not be symbol enough.

We parents so often blow the business of raising kids, but not because we violate any philopsophy of child raising. A football manager has learned a lot of his job from having played the game, but a parent has not learned a thing from having once been a child.
