If, as it's been said, Jen changed her mind, it still doesn't give the author of that article the right to call Brad a "dunderhead." I think he truly wants children and has no doubt. He's been through lots of relationships and lots of life and he's ready to take that step where you are always thinking about someone other than yourself.

I think she's got HUGE issues as far as parenting is concerned because of her mom - some of my friends are the same way. They don't want to have kids because they don't want to make those mistakes. But I don't think you should let fear keep you from doing something if you really want to do it.

As far as automatically assuming that she would do most of the childcare, two words: John Lennon. Obviously that is not the same situation, but the fact remains that he was his son's primary caregiver the first 5 years of his life.
