In your OP you specifically and very clearly said you and your friend

discussed a scenario wherein a couple agrees they want to be parents

Not a scenario where they agreed only that they want to have a baby and their sole interest was

simply how a child enters into the mix, not what happens after

I don't think I'm the being obtuse here. It's very telling that your response to being disagreed with is to stomp off in a strop saying

I will not engage with you on this anymore.

Well I'm told, then. You crack at it. LOL

I'm not replying to the bits about my question because I think you're not listening and I don't care to try and make you listen.

But, I wanted to let you know that I don't actually disagree with anything you've said, I just think most of it is irrelevant to my question. My only major point of disagreement with you would be that I don't think western women are as supported by men in the work of child rearing as you seem to think, but I agree things are more balanced than they used to be, and much much better than for women in other places in the world.

I'm surprised that you perceive my telling you that I don't think you're getting what I'm trying to talk about and I don't want to spend my energy on a post I made on things I didn't ask, as a "stomp off". Perhaps you'd prefer if I said let's agree to disagree about the topic I tried to discuss. If so, please accept that from me. I don't think it applies so I didn't use it. Others in the responses have disagreed, and I'm okay with that. My friend didn't agree with me either.

Let's let it be now. Thanks
