(well it obviously is if you have no plans to lose the weight after, which seems to be this lady's case). and never mind the cooking for children part, unless you like the same crap kids do. and the showstopper is the whole it doesn't matter if you and your husband never shag again because your kids are around to cuddle all day. WTF?!? she's the one defending parents but it's her article that is totally putting me off breeding, mroe than the angry french chick .
yeah the first one is bitchy for saying that when she already has 2 kids but deep down i also think she's right and i think she says what a lot of women think but never say - i think more women realise too late that maybe they weren't cut out for kids. i don't think it makes them horrible people, and most cope with it the best they can and are decent parents. it's kind of refreshing that she has the guts to say it.
i totally agree with her that kids are little savages. i never bought that whole 'man is born innocent, it's society that corrupts him' crap. au contraire, we're all born savages and society teaches us to repress those urges and act civilised. i forget who it is that said the zenith of human cruelty is at age 10. they were right.

Ha, I agree with you on both counts. The chubby chick does indeed sound lobotomized-my one consolation is that she probably was a brainless twit even before she bred.
And while it's extremely mean for someone who already has two kids to express such sentiments, some of the points she makes is valid (at least judging from my own observations of women around me who underwent changes after breeding), and should at least give people pause and make them
think before they decide to procreate, rather than just have kids because it's the default.
