I see them as a burden to a relationship, not beneficial! I always thought most men want to put off being "tied down" by kids as long as possible? I guess I should be happy since this shows he would never be a good husband because he would never put me before the kid(s) (I personally believe spouses should always be more important than the children since kids are meant to grow up and leave, but if all goes accordingly, a husband and wife will bee together forever). Why is it so hard to find a guy who DOESN'T want kids?!?! SERIOUSLY! WHY?!?!
