Ignore the flack, and kudos for not giving in to the societal (and, I'm betting over the years, familial) pressure to have children. I can think of a couple of ways, just off the top of my head, that one could argue having children is selfish. Same hogwash, other side of the funhouse mirror.

The flack has all been here, pretty much. My parents thought it was my husband's and my business if we had babies or not, and my husband's parents didn't really take an interest one way or the other.

There was no pressure to be grandparents from our parents; thank heaven they had lives of their own and didn't live through us with the goal of "being grandparents".
