This is not always the case, although it most often >is the case in our world. I did not write the above material. I followed up on it, but I certainly did not write it nor agree with it. I really don't need the entire net thinking that I think that taking care of the children 24 hours a day is the wife's duty. So let's get this clear - I did not write that. I do not agree with any of it. I certainly don't think that one should not have sex if one doesn't want to have children as a result, I don't think that the wife (or anyone else) needs to be home to take care of the kids 24 hours, and I never said anything about anarchy or chaos. I've got enough problems with people who disagree with what I really say, I don't need people sending me letters disagreeing with what I didn't say. cheers - elizabeth g. purtell (Lady Godiva)
