I know where you are coming from, but I think the Preacher has a point.

I have all the money I will ever need, but because my relationships last an average of a month or two before my charm is overwhelmed by my selfishness, I will certainly never have children.

Part of me knows I could be a parent, but that part of me grows smaller every day as I play with my adult toys. I am truly having a second childhood in my semi-retirement, and I have to catch myself sometimes from doing things even more irresponsible than I do now. I don't think I am unique, in that left without the responsibilities that most adults have to deal with, I am always in danger of going too far. I think it is possible to become addicted to fun.

It's his suggestion that ALL voluntarily childfree people (Including those who are fertile but who have genetic disorders?????) are immature, and (at least by insinuation) ALL people who've reproduced are automatically mature that raises my hackles. I see too many "parents" who're as irresponsible and immature as any teenager to believe that!

Endless self-amusement is not the only alternative to having children. Ask Condi Rice.

You have all the money you will ever need because you never had children. Childless people cannot fathom how much money children cost.
