Barb, I guess it's that "sensitivity chip" that Jennifer Aniston talked about. All I can say is, I'm glad I was born a woman, because I find my emotions comforting, real and something I would not want to live with out even though it can lead to getting your heart broke. Makes me wonder if men ever see love the way we do?
I believe we are very different creatures from men. Our brains are different. I to am glad to be a women. We bare these children and a man can never feel that experience. We bond more I think. I think they are the ones who miss out on the glorious feeling of being a mother. Children also bond more to their mothers I believe as long as the women are mothers in the since of the word. This is God's gift to us. We also experience alot more pain then men phyically and mentally for our children. I know that empty feeling when the kids are gone. As already stated the children are the ones who really bear the brunt of all of this child sharing. All in all I am glad to be the mother and would never want to trade places with them.
