Bill, I'm not married.  My "husband" doesn't come into it.  The father of
the baby was an active party in the conception, but he is not _necessarily_
an active party in the delivery.  In fact, he'd rather NOT be, and I'd
rather NOT have him be, if his responses would be distracting.

I answered a posting regarding someone's _solicitations of opinions_ re
allowing children to participate in the birth of siblings.  I did not
invite your uninformed and intrusive comments.  Isn't it a "shame" that
you feel justified making denegrating comments about people you don't know?

Maybe, and maybe not, and the decision is up to you.  YOUR decision and
opinion isn't MY problem -- thank goodness I don't have the temperment to
malign YOU for YOUR free choice.

I think your comments are rude and uncalled for.
