Just the normal amount most women get. She seems to have it together more a lot of the time than she used to. As for Beverly, Beverly loves Sheldon and he loves her. Amy can't see that as a bad thing, I would hope. She may be puzzled by how Beverly treats Leonard, but that has nothing to do with how Beverly treats Sheldon. She treats Sheldon very well. In earlier canon Amy was shown as having a really bad relationship with her mother (sin closet I believe) so it's reasonable to assume she has some unresolved issues as far as mothering goes. In regards to Beverly she is , IMO, a piece of shit of a mother, so I don't know what Amy, or anybody else for that matter, could ever learn from her.

Children are not a requirement for a successful, happy, life together. I agree with you on this one. However, not having a child because ONE of the couple doesn't want to, can lead to resentment as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your description of Beverly. The only thing to be learned from her is how not to be a mother! 6 hours ago, luminous said: tvguide.com All I can say is Thank God for Syndication!

Is keeping Penny worth not having kids? If they stayed together could they both be happy with the outcome without resentment or anger? Who would you have give in. Penny or Leonard. Both have different feelings about kids. Either way someone loses and must give in. Are you obligated to have a child because your spouse wants one? Perhaps Leonard should walk away from the marriage and find someone who really wants kids. He may not love the new woman as much as Penny, but he gets children in the end. Amy will be a great mom. She has never displayed any reason to believe she would be abusive or uncaring. Edited March 12, 2019 by Sah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has never displayed any reason to believe she would be abusive or uncaring. It happens in real life, people who do love each other and in loving relationships have split over kids. It’s a tricky situation, something that might change over time on either side (Penny may want kids at some point, Leonard may come to the conclusion he can live without having them). Or they may just carry on as they are sort of in between but never really discuss the subject which could lead to resentment. I still think they will ultimately have children.

He might find someone compatible in her mid-thirties who had no children already and was willing and capable. On the other hand he might not. It would be a big gamble.

Itwasdestined Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I find it sad that so much time is spent discussing such a serious issue as leaving someone because you want kids and they don’t and the crushing pressure brought on by this conflict on a much loved couple on a sitcom fan forum.

This reminds me of a friend, a guy my age, so he was in his 50's back when all this went down. He married again after his first wife died, a much younger woman, and made it clear from the get go (Unlike Penny) that he didn't want kids. She was much younger and agreed to this but after a couple of years she got the idea he was probably going to go first and she wanted to have a family. She didn't want to wind up alone. He was furious that she was stirring up an issue that he thought had already been settled, and her resentment manifested itself in every part of their lives from the bedroom to their social life. The marriage did not survive. It is not the same thing as the TV situation obviously, but it just goes to show resentment CAN fester. Now, I think the showrunners think Leonard and Penny are fine the way they are and will continue to be fine the way they are. I don't think they give a lot of thought to anything ever changing for them. I think they just pulled this no kids thing out so they wouldn't have to deal with questions about kids, but in doing so sparked even more speculation about kids. This may well surprise them.

JMO where Leonard should of taken the gamble was when Penny was trying to sabotage his donation. To me the story shouldn’t of ended with the call to Zack telling him he changed his mind and saying no to donating. JMO he should got to the point of actually donating. What would Penny have done at that point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did the laughter go? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Exactly how I feel. Writing that no-baby episode and then adding to it with the sperm donation has truly created an uneasy situation for the Hofstadters. I really am anxious to see how they get themselves out of this predicament. Penny's explanation of why she does not want children has IMO become a very crucial step in their story ending.

In my younger years, I used to save the TVGuide, much to my mother's (and later my wife's) dismay. We no longer receive it or pick it up at the store, but I will probably make an exception here!

Maybe so, but he probably still has the internal scars from slipping and falling head first into the water cooler. If he doesn't remember, I'm betting Leonard will show him the pictures of the aftermath! But, with Sheldon's fancy dancy memory, I believe deep down he will always remember that!

I use to collect TV Guides for a long time to frooom aobut 2003. I started back when it was the small classic size. They are not what they sue to be anymore.
