Unlike almost all the others who have commented, I agree with the lady on this matter, although maybe for differing reasons. When I was 18 I decided that I would never be a parent, basing my decision on what I had experienced and what I saw around me (your mileage may vary, but then again, you didn’t live my life).
It was a decision I never wavered from, and I’m now 72. And, no, I have no regrets.
Among the reasons I have no regrets is thinking about the current political and social situations we are in. I don’t have to concern myself with worry about grandchildren who are going to grow up in an America that I would not choose for myself and a country in which I was privileged to live and enjoy the freedoms that are rapidly disappearing. And I see a lot of you have noted that concern.
I am conservative and am concerned about the battles we face and will do what I can to help out. I’m just not optimistic that we’re going to win them. Demographics, you know.
I long ago tired of arguing with those who think I am misguided, so I won’t do it again. Just expressing my thoughts.
I get where you're coming from. I am deeply depressed about the type of country my kids are likely to grow up in, where the better of a job I do raising them, the more likely they will be shat upon by the dominant leftist culture. If I can't scrape together the money to keep them out of public schools, they will be taught to hate themselves for the color of their skin (Seattle Public Schools recently caught some flak for sending students to a "White Privilege" conference), and made to feel guilty for every bit of common sense they have. Nevertheless, even though I have little hope for this country I have a lot of hope that they can find a happy life for themselves. The future of free people is not in America but it may be elsewhere.
