“I’m pretty sure they also plan to hire a full-time nanny do do the actual raising of the child.”
Why don’t they just forget all that and go to a random kid’s birthday parties, graduation, etc. and take pictures with that kid. That wouldn’t be much different and would save them lots of money.
breeders are a strange bunch, they are free to do as they wish. no moral judgment from me.
altho will never understand them
I’m pretty sure they also plan to hire a full-time nanny do do the actual raising of the child.
the former co-worker whose home went to in Bayonne, lived there whole live…his moth-in-law lives downstairs and his grown up daughter lives 3 blocks away.

He and his wife want a baby. They want a girl. They don’t want the hassle of her actually being pregnant. They want the baby to be biologially theirs.
that’s all kinds of fucked up. not wanting the hassle of being pregnant? isnt that kinda missing out on the whole experience? seems weird. why not just adopt instead? she can’t be asked to get a big tummy? or does she just wanna keep her vagina tight? can’t she just do kegels?

“Do you have a problem with this?”
no, but that’s mad lazy
“DH, Re rents in Clinton Hill, I am not sure, but 1400-1600 is sort of cheap for where I am – Fort Greene close to Clinton HIll border. You could probably find one though. ”
yeah – i’ve looked in Ft Greene before and $1,400 won’t get much (maybe a small studio) – i’m perfectly happy with clinton hill tho (the bldg delepp linked to would be perfect, love me some clinton ave). also saw a few one bedrooms on eastern parkway west of classon for around $1,450 – which would also be great.
we’ll see what my mgmt company says. can’t imagine they wouldn’t let me out of my lease, considering my apt is about 300 below market now and the bldg is about to become rent stabilized.
MORAL / ETHICAL QUESTION OF THE DAY
[The following is true]
I have a lawyer friend who went to college with me. He and his wife want a baby. They want a girl. They don’t want the hassle of her actually being pregnant. They want the baby to be biologially theirs. For a fee of $45,000 they are going to hire a woman in Central America to have their fertilized egg implanted in her uterus, carry the baby to term, give birth, and hand it over to them. The fertilized egg will be gender selected so they know it is a girl (fertilized eggs that are genetically male will be discarded after testing).
Do you have a problem with this?
Bayonne is MOONFACE-PROOF! and that’s a good thing. tho for the most part most of jersey’s gold coast is moonface proof.
and yes cgar, that free parking for nannies proposal really irks me. free parking? wtf? they dont even pay taxes!!! grrrrr
