OK. You're selfish.
LOL. :-) Okay, so we are 23 yr old selfish kids who want to spend time with each other. Maybe someday we'll be 30 year old people who are ready for kids....but...not now. I've seen so many friends who struggle to support their children, and we want to be established before making such a life-changing decision.
Is that one of the brilliant points? I just didn't want it to lay there unheeded. ;~D
What exactly is "selfish" about not having kids?
I want specifics.
If my husband and I spend a lot of time discussing the matter and decide that we are not cut out to be parents, how is that "selfish"?
If I decide that my desire to have kids is not strong enough to take the chance of having physical problems in pregnancy or delivery, or of having post-partum depression, how on earth is that "selfish"?
If we pray for God's guidance, and he makes it clear to us that we are not called to be parents, how is that "selfish"?
If we have more money to give away to needy people, how is that "selfish"?
If we have personalities that predispose us to being most mentally healthy and happy with a quiet household, and to being happy and satisfied with just the two of us, how is that "selfish"?
Someone please give a rational, intellectual explanation for this "selfish" thing.
