Much as others on this site may hate us, there are just some of us out here who have no desire to have screaming little brats running around.
It's a shame you view children as screaming brats. :(
It's definitely your decision not to have babies, but I can assure you, they don't *always* scream, and aren't *always* brats.
Just at night...
When you are trying to sleep...
But they napped and are bored and WIDE AWAKE.
But the positives have outweighed the negatives for me, at least! :o)
