I personally would not have a kid with a friend, but I can see the appeal in raising a child communally.  I was raised by two parents (who are still together), but I was also raised by my extended family. It's a cultural thing, Nigerian families seem to have no boundaries and really subscribe to the whole 'it takes a village to rear a child' ideology and so my brothers and I grew up knowing we had - and still have - an excellent support network (outside our parents) around us.  I think this is the advantage of raising a child communally, especially if it's done right.

I saw it today and really enjoyed it, although I had actively tried to avoid watching trailers and reading about it so I had no expectations going in. I also feel the story did not need telling but Disney's gotta milk that Star Wars cow somehow before it runs dry.
 

Awww she's adorable! Congrats!

Congrats @Bones!

Have you been to Japan previously? Which parts??

Haha no, I wish. That's why I'm open to going at any time, it just looks amazing.
