I agree...makes my skin crawl. The couple they covered [I believe it was 20/20 or Dateline] had not gotten to the child part yet. They found out about 2 years into their marriage & went for permanent sterilization [both]. Although their marriage was deemed null & void upon this discovery 2 years later; they did continue to live as husband & wife, choosing to adopt in the future. I felt really bad for them.

Oh, and the crush I had on a unknown cousin to me--we were in third grade! Meanwhile, did not know were cousins through a marriage which occurred from a previous divorce...no bloodlines involved!

I often joke; I did not have a child [born] since I often thought I was just not good genetic material! I can say now; I am pleased I did not have a child due to past medical issues and the outcome of the marriage...I would have a really difficult time allowing him near a child which was born to me & would have fought him to hell to keep custody from him directly [not his family though]. But sex with a family member? Yeak! Often I go out with my Father for business or such & I correct people really fast when they refer to me as his wife [same if I am out with my brother]. The mere reference is enough to correct the fact before anyone makes an assumption.
