1. As a father who loves his children

   As a father who loves his children, it's surprising how little compassion you have for those with physical issues that have prevented them from becoming naturally pregnant. And to lay the blame on God (by assuming he might want them to do something else) is appalling. If someone has cancer, would you suggest that they not accept medical treatment because perhaps God wants them to die? Infertility is a medical problem -- and one that has some very good treatments available. If you have a medical problem -- any medical problem -- and treatment is available, you should avail yourself of it if you so wish. You've also clearly no idea of the adoption process and the expenses often involved. If you did, you probably wouldn't be so quick to suggest it: It's not uncommon for it to cost $25-40,000 per child. As a foster parent, adoptive parent and biological parent, I find it really sad to read comments like yours. This post is about a woman seeking multiples for convenience and you made it about infertility. I can assure you that infertility (and the treatments that go with it) is in no way convenient: they can be painful, stressful, and very scary.

2. Height of fences

   I've never heard of backyard fences being only 4 ft. I've lived in NJ, NY, CA and OR, in urban, suburban and rural areas, and the standard for a backyard fence has always been set at a maximum of 6 ft. Front fences have consistently been a maximum of 3 ft. Can't figure out the point of a backyard fence being only 4 ft. as it wouldn't provide either privacy or animal containment (not to my dogs anyway). 6 ft. does both.

3. Untitled

   Yes, I actually do want to see neighbors with clotheslines when I'm looking to buy a house. It tells me that I might be finding neighbors who a) care about the environment, b) are not wasteful of resources, or c) pay attention to their finances. These are all good things in my book. As long as the clothesline is in the backyard, why would I see it anyway? I don't expect to be peeking over my neighbor's fence. Should I also tell them what type of patio furniture or plants they should have in their backyard?
