Everybody dies alone.

Nope. Plenty of people die with their friends and family by their side.

You are very lucky to have a child, which I am sure you know. My husband (both of us 35) have tried for years, with no luck. Sometimes it is easier to tell people we don't want children than to explain that we just have not been able to. It can get kinda depressing and people constantly ask us why we don't have children.

We still pray that God will bless us with a child.

Somewhere around 1955 there were 150 million in the USA. Now there are 300 million. It does not appear there is any shortage of people.

Thanks in large part to immigration.

And of course, a large chunk of the 300 million are people whose parents had large families in the 1950s and who themselves haven't had any children.

The people who whine and cry most about Mexicans "stealing" jobs and the loss of America's "ethnic balance" are often people who haven't replaced themselves.

She has no life because she has no kids, or because she is talking about it?

She said she doesn't have to "justify herself," and yet she's doing so, for publication. This suggests she's a liberal bore, irrespective of her family situation. (Liberal bores are easily recognized because they contradict themselves in a single sentence :-).

They make the journey to the other side alone - no group holidays. ;)

How old is RR? Does he have a college degree, a good job, and a promising future?

No, you are not ignorant for having children. The statement is one of many justifying childlessness in a book that is all about justifying childlessness while complaining about having to justify childlessness.

You’re welcome. I have no problem with people’s not having children ... just with those who go on and on about it, indicating that they’re not as thrilled as they say they are. Satisfied people don’t bother to natter to lib authors about how fulfilled they are.

I think it is all about the person. You know if you want kids or not.

I have no problem with people who have kids. It is just not for me.
