Why do some couples choose NOT to have children?
Some people do not wish to have children because having children would complicate their lives in some way, shape or form...some because they don't like kids, or they may even have some sort of recessive gene for a disease that a child may or may not end up having. I say it's a good thing that there ARE people like this who DO choose not to have children for what ever reason they are choosing...there are too many children in this world that are abused, neglected or handed off to a nanny to take care of if u know what i mean!
Fiances sister refuses to come to wedding due to fight, advice please?
Long story short, my fiance and I have been together for 3 years. Everything has been great with us. He just got back from Afghanistan,we are getting married on Valentines day, I'm graduating college with a computer science degree in May and we are moving to Florida getting stationed in June. His whole family loves me and can't wait for us to get married except for his sister. Every time I come to visit with him, she ALWAYS has a under tone comment to say. I usually don't pay her any attention up until last night when it all hit the fan. Her favorite thing to call me is a "trick" but now she has a new word called "thot" (that hoe over there). His mother was sitting right there and asked what that meant. She laughed and said nothing and my fiance told her to stop. She said why not and proceeded to say how I had everyone fooled, I put on a facade of being a "quiet woman" (I don't tend to talk much unless you ask me something or i'm comfortable with you and rarely do I go out and really just the nerdy person who watches Syfy and reads all day lol) but at the end of the day am just a smart whore. The reason she calls me this is because I was a stripper up until about 2 months ago. While yes, it is not the most ideal job this is the way I was able to pay all my bills for school, apartment and car due to my mom going through a divorce/having to move back halfway across the country to live with my grandparents and ultimately not being able to help me. Since 18 years old (22 now) I've provided EVERYTHING for myself. While yes my fiance isn't a fan of what I do, he respects it. He said as long as I kept work work and was in school he has no problem with it. He didn't try to hide what I did and they all said the same as him. Now i'm done, I have about 16k saved up. He told me to put the money to the side and he took primary control of bills. He told me to focus on my last semester and that's what i'm doing. Well back to the point, after last night his sister says she refuses to come to the wedding. She says she wants nothing to do with him since he put a "whore" before family. He is extremely upset about it but says he refuses to let her come between us especially on something that isn't her place. Now I don't know what to do, Advice please Excuse my grammar, I didn't go back to read and correct.
Do fathers have the same parental rights as mothers?
The idea that mothers get custody over fathers is really based on the model that 90% of split families (parents don't live together because of divorce or unmarried parents living apart) are households with mothers having primary custody of the children. But that 90% are cases where custody was undisputed. When parents break up, the father usually doesn't want to be saddled with the kids full-time. They may want to have the kids with them some of the time, but it's rare when they want primary custody.In the cases where custody is disputed by mother and father, however, fathers win full custody about 70% of the time. So it isn't true that fathers are less likely to gain custody of children. It's only true that about 90% of the time, mothers end up with the kids because custody is undisputed, or the fathers aren't even around. When custody is disputed, though, fathers get it more than two-thirds of the time.
