Why Jennifer Aniston is my hero
 

From the Sydney Morning Herald: (I could not agree more)

YES.

I love it.

Me too. Good for her!

IT seems alittle bitter or strident.

There is nothing wrong with Jennifer not wanting kids, but there is nothing wrong with Brad wanting them either.

They could adopt also . . .

Perhaps she doesn't like men and is a lesbian. Has anyone ever considered this?

If you don't want kids, why on earth would you adopt them?

Also, this is something that should be discussed PRIOR to marriage. While I do not understand people who want to sacrifice family for career, it is her choice. I do not think she's brave for making that choice.

It depends on whether you don't want kids at all, versus having to carry them and dealing with babyhood.

You could adopt someone older if you wanted and get the best of both worlds, a kid, and didn't have to take a time out from career.

It was discussed prior to marriage. Her situation, her opinion changed--and she has every right to change her mind.

I am the same age as she is and feel the same way. Fortunately mr. amycat is not in a rush to have kids.

I agree with you amy, i just don't think there is anything wrong with Brad wanting kids. The article just seems a little hostile towards Brad. And I don't know why the author made it that way.

Should brad have fought to preserve the marriage and abandoned his desire to have kids cause she didn't want them?

Good for her :)

No, there's nothing wrong with Brad for wanting them. I think what the author is trying to convey is disdain for the public's attitude that Jen is off her rocker for leaving Brad and not having his babies. Its HER CHOICE. Even on GC the pervasive attitude has been one of disdain for her. I applaud her doing what is right for herself, and, ultimately what is right for Brad.

I agree, the quickest way to ruin a marriage and have complete and utter disdain for your partner is to compromise your beliefs and life goals. Having kids doesn't often bring people to a middle ground, it usually tears them further apart.

Good for her (though, Brad, I'll have your babies!)

Here's my wacky idea and maybe it'll become the newest trend in Hollywood ;)

Brad and Jen could have a surrogate mother. Jen wouldn't have to carry the baby for 9 months, she could work on her career and leave Brad home to take care of the baby when it's born.

But I have to agree with the author here.
