Today I'm heading off to play music at a funeral and then to a church picnic, so I'm sharing some tasty links you may want to check out.
"Dear Mariella," a columnist at in the UK's Guardian newspaper, tackles the problem of a wife wanting kids and a husband who doesn't at http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2012/jul/15/mariella-frostrup-woman-wants-children-husband-does-not.
Here's another one from the Guardian, "Why Japan Prefers Pets to Parenthood". Show of hands, how many of us couldn't get our mates to have children but had no problem getting him/her to accept a dog or cat?
"Childless or Childfree?" The notmom.com tackles this never-ending debate at http://thenotmom.com/childless-or-childfree.
Finally, does fatherhood make men happier? "Dads are happier than their childless peers" discusses that question. http://news.discovery.com/human/why-are-dads-so-happy120617.html
Your thoughts are welcome.
Happy weekend!

Attention Vancouver childless women
If you are childless and live in the Lower Mainland/Vancouver area of British Columbia, Emily Koert would like to talk to you. She is working on her doctorate in counselling psychology at the University of British Columbia and is researching childlessness after postponement or delay of motherhood. She is most interested in women who expected to become mothers but have run out of fertile years for various reasons, including reluctant partners.
Emily writes, "I am exploring the lived experience of chldlessness for these women, including examining how they construct their lives and identities as childless women." She wants to do interviews in person.
If you are interested, contact her at eckoert@yahoo.com or contact me (here in comments or suelick@charter.net) and I'll relay the message. Thanks.

I've been blog-hopping lately and have some sites to recommend.
TheNotMom, published by Karen Malone Wright, is a colorful collection of information and wisdom about childlessness. She was kind enough to reprint one of my postings on June 27. I'm enjoying this site and think you might, too. Find it at http://TheNotMom.tumblr.com.
While you're exploring, check out Have Children or Not, http://childrenornot.blogspot.com.
