Offsprings... Anyone?

I just finished a book in 2 days, yes 764 pages in 2 days. Flavor of the month by Olivia Goldsmith. I was at the library the other day and saw the discards, this book only cost me $1 so after browsing through, I have decided why not? Not as if I had better things to do at the moment why not take some time to read a book.

This book is based on the gleam of Hollywood. Fascinations of being a star. Fascinations of making it big on the screens, dreams of people coming true (at a big price of course, there's no free lunch in this world - only if you are lucky to strike lottery, but you had to fork out money to buy the ticket first anyway... Yeah... So NO FREE LUNCHES IN THIS BLARDY WORLD!)

Reading this book got me thinking again. Thinking of how this world works. People are seldom nice to one another without benefits. So there's not many of these dumb asses left in this world. Even mothers would stoop at nothing to use their children to their own advantage. Women often hoped that by having a child, their husband would love them more or come back to them after straying. How cold someone use a child as a tool to save their own asses? One such example could be found in the book, one of the characters had the sex of her child changed from birth and since raised the child the opposite of its sex, robbing the child of its own sexuality. Sad but true, cases of mothers using children as a weapon, tool, whatever you might call it; against their husbands.

Women often used pregnancies to tie the man they desired, yeah you got the man by having his child, but the real question is does he really want you? Or is he just taking the responsibility up towards you and the child? In other words he wants you because of the child. How long can this last? Will the woman be truly be happy with a husband who has no choice but to marry her because she is carrying his flesh and blood? Some might as, if the guy didnt feel anything for the gal why would he knock her up? There's only one explanation in one word; LUST. How do you think Princess D and Prince C(despite being inlove with a married woman who does not even has half the beauty of his wife) produce two charming offsprings when there's absolutely no love involved?

Getting married is one huge step. Producing offsprings is a mega step. How can a marriage started on a wrong foot expected to be perfected by producing offsprings? I mean how could some people be so selfish to have kids to save their relationships? I just cannot understand the rational behind having a baby will resolve all the problems. Birth of a child to solve all marital problems? Seems too good to be true! Having a kid migh increase the responsibility of the people involved in the relationship but that does not solve any problems! In my opinion, that creates more problems! How could people be so cruel to their offsprings to let them grow up in a family, which the parents could not even see each other eye to eye? Children need a nurtering environment to grow up.

First thing first, parents have to grow up. Having a kid is not like a playtime thing. It's not like when we are playing happy family when we were young. Every step we take we have to be responsible. How could people who cannot even be responsible for their own lives to be producing kids, and to be responsible for the kids' well being in the first 18years of the kid's life?

I would like to have my own kids one day. First, maybe find the right guy, where to find him? I have a-deer-who-has-no-eye-and-not-had-sex-for-a-long-time (no Fxxking Eye Deer（ｉｄｅａ）). Until then.......
