Would You Even Have To Think About It?

Whom do you love more: Your spouse or your children?
(hypothetically speaking, or if you've got a full house, either way)

We bear and raise children, and while it's an unconditional love, it's a completely separate love than what we feel for our spouse. And isn't that what we want, for our children to find the person that will love them most of all?

There's a point when we don't turn first to our parents, when they aren't our end-all and be-all, and that's when we realize someone else has taken over that coveted spot in our hearts and has become a greater necessity.

(All this is generally speaking, and since I do not yet have children, perhaps my viewpoint will change drastically, I'll let you know. And while I do not believe you must have a spouse/partner to be happy and complete, I do think it's a wonderful thing to find someone who makes your world even better.)

Ayelet Waldman (yes, I'm still talking about her) has a Dooce-like quality about her, but less conversational, more debate/essay like. Still surprisingly honest however, and I wish I was willing to put myself out there like that. But I guess this isn't that type of blog.

Sometimes I'm tempted to start a whole series of blogs, for the various aspects of my life. But shouldn't I be able to put it all under one roof?
