If $$$ is a persons prime focus, let them have no kids - the kids are better off not being with adults like that.

I was trying to figure out a way to word my response. Yours will do just fine.

7 Again I saw something meaningless under the sun:

8 There was a man all alone;
he had neither son nor brother.
There was no end to his toil,
yet his eyes were not content with his wealth.
“For whom am I toiling,” he asked,
“and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?”
This too is meaningless—
a miserable business!

9 Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor:
10 If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
and has no one to help them up.
11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
12 Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

Ecclesiastes 4

People are free to choose childlessness. But this means that they have resigned from the project of building the future. They will live ultimately for themselves, finding their validation as worker drones and consumers. Their credit card companies won’t send anyone to their funerals.

Couldn’t agree more. What an awful article—as if people have kids for some monetary reason! Having children is a priceless gift.

Our grandkids,grand nieces and nephews have good degrees and jobs, are like semi cat people with no cats and an occasional dog.

Some are getting master degrees and even PHds!

Even the married ones have no children.

My wife, who was a great RN for 5+ decades before she retired is concerned we have reared successful yet childless
adults

Getting old with no children or grandchildren to love and be loved by is sad.

Of my closest friends’ children:
4 kids - 2 with 2 grandchildren each/2 without
3 kids - 1 with 2 grandchildren/2 without
2 kids - no grandchildren
1 kid - no grandchildren
0 kids - no grandchildren
0 kids - no grandchildren

Definitely seeing fewer children in the latest generation.

“People are free to choose childlessness.”

some people cannot have children, especially if they were born XY, sometimes even if they were born XX.

although I read recently that taking drugs can help

I know a childless cat lady. One night the cat attacked her in her sleep.

Genetic extinction.

Your-genes-become-extinct.

Got it?

The FKN cat won’t live 15 years.

No one. And I mean NO ONE should pay childless women any attention or respect.

None

Save all that money up for some foreign brown skinned worker who hates your guts to wipe your butt.
