Having children that you cannot afford is a sign of immaturity. Having children even though you despise screaming, snotty brats is a sign of immaturity.
Well, you can throw all kinds of caveates out there for having kids too.
Parenthood is more than being horny, which for most of the world is about all the thought that is given to it.
But the people I see in this article are not trailer park welfare queens. They are professional, productive people who may have in some instances made intelligent decisions.
But their decision not to have kids simply can not functionally be the model for as much of the population as it is being promoted for.
The normal state of couples is parenthood, and the reasons for not being parents have nothing to do with global warming or not having enough time for yourself. Those are stupid, selfish reasons and if that is all they can come up with they need to grow up.
Chances are if you can tolerate a spouse and a house, you can tolerate parenthood.
*LOL*
Okay, I know most FReeper parents are probably the greatest and all, but there has been rarely a time I've gone shopping and *not* seen screaming, snotty brats in the aisles, towing along their cowed/(a)pathetic/resentful "parents".
