The trophy wife and I had dinner with 2 couples last night. One couple has 1 son, the other has 3 sons. Here are a few conversations you, as a DINK, will never have to have:
1. The drug conversation
2. The pornography conversation (and all potential sub-conversations...)
3. The "stop fighting" conversation
4. The "watch your language" conversation
Admittedly, #3 and #4 are conversations that parents have so often that it becomes second nature, at least it did for my parents. On the other hand, conversations #1 and #2 are apparently so difficult that there are websites and pamphlets to assist parents with them. The most fun part of these conversations is listening to parents recount how effective they are (not very), and knowing that I'll never have to deliver one of these speeches.
There is apparently some evidence that having daughters changes your personality more than having sons. As a man, this isn't surprising because I think my mind would simply snap under the stress of imagining the worst case scenarios.
