I cheated and opened my present Saturday, it was a t-shirt:

Beautiful day here and I expect steaks on the grill later. Just glad to have three responsible young adults.
One day they will be able to support Mother and I " in the manner to which we have grown accustomed."

When's Non-Father's Day? If human population growth is a problem, then we should be recognized for our "sacrifice".

Bless you my child. Now go forth and not multiply.

Sacrifice? With the cost of raising children today , you call not having to pony up the funds a Sacrifice?

The cost of raising a child in America is outrageous. I do have respect for those who decided to work their butts off to raise children.

When I was married a long time ago, before college, my wife took the pill. We knew at that time that we couldn't afford to have children, and it didn't happen.

A sacrifice was not putting my DNA back into the population. Other sacrifices were not experiencing the joys that children bring to a family. But perhaps not continuing my DNA is a good thing since I would be continuing the family history of Type II diabetes.
