Interesting article on childfree living.
What with my age and all, I’m doing the whole “do I really want to have children someday?” mental routine fairly regularly. I mean, biological leanings and my family push me one way, my firm dislike of 90% of humanity and 99% of puberty-age children push me in another. If I could have a well-behaved seven year old who would spontaneously turn into a responsible adult, sure. I could do that. But infants, two-year-olds, and 12-16 year olds mostly suck pondwater. There are exceptions, but man. I’m not sure I want to risk it. AFter all, once you have the kid, yer stuck with ’em. Ick. At least if a cat or dog turns out to be psycho, you can give them away or have them put down.
At least I’m not married yet so I don’t have to deal with NEARLY as much pressure as I will if I ever do tie the knot.
