[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess it's all about perspective. Same sex couple who struggled through infertility before DS 1. He felt like a gift from God. Three losses later, DW is pregnant with our second and I feel like our marriage and sex life have never been stronger. Agree with those who say that babies are work. Once they start becoming real people it gets pretty fun.[/quote]

I honestly think two women couples are the best at handling babies though because [b]women in general are more nurturing and willing to be selfless and get their hands dirty[/b]. The disconnect is usually with couples where the man because a dad and expects to maintain a similar lifestyle to what he's always had and the woman is resentful. [/quote]

I don't think women are naturally more nurturing.  I think it's been ingrained in them since birth that their highest actuality is to be a mother, so when they have a kid with a man, everyone thinks the mom should naturally want to do more.  That's the root of a lot of issues.

But in a same-sex marriage of two women, the expectations aren't different for one spouse v. the other the way it is with man/woman pairings.

I'm sure there are still challenges (due to the stress and huge change that having a baby brings), but I think a couple is better positioned for parenting success if they don't have all of the societal baggage of unequal expectations for who does what.[/quote]
