Your attitude seems to be resentment of my choice, which suggests something about what you really feel about your choice.

Going back to my original post, I said:

"I think it's a shame that people jump onto the bandwagon of, "Let's please only ourselves and never do anything difficult because it's so much easier and FUN that way!" There is value in extending yourself for others. People of character do hard things and work through them. They see the reward is in the process of learning and growing."

I thought I had made it clear that the "let's always have fun" attitude is what bugs me. I think it is too bad that so many people take the "fun path" instead of having to put themselves out for others. We're growing a whole lot of shallow people who, ultimately, cannot be counted on for much. Rather like many of those who'd run off to Canada in a moments notice instead of fighting. Not much fun there.

If you think child rearing is "fun", and if I could force you not to have children, that would "put you out."

So by your standards, your character would be better if you did things my way, right?

(The reason the child-free folks are so annoyed and cranky is that folks like you call them selfish, lazy, and of poor character. Lust lve your life, and don't push your life on others who are doing nothing to harm you.)
