      Thanks bud. Been a hard fuckin year and we were lucky enough to have a happy baby that sleeps like the dead. She turns one in 10 days. Damn.

      I never understand why we congratulate people for procreating. There are about 8 billion people and they all have the animal desire to make more people, big whoop mate. Have they made any other notable contributions?

        They aren’t being congratulated for procreating. They are being congratulated for having the right mentality around procreating (in that it is a sacrifice that requires at the least consideration prior and commitment after in order to make a good human to carry on the species).

          Lmao, Sacrifice, sure. More like Responsibility.

            …uh, there’s no reason why it wouldn’t be both. They aren’t mutually exclusive (in fact, they’re often mutually inclusive).

              Sacrifice is when you give something up for the greater good.

              Responsibility is when you suffer the consequences of your actions.
