I was reading a book about a 'child free' lifestyle. It was just weird and didn't leave me with a good feeling at all :( It made it seem like if you had children, you were throwing your freedom away.
With my screen name, you know I wanted kids!
Look at the flip side to this. If you want to have a career like Miers or Rice, better to not have kids. There is no way to do what they do and raise kids right.
And you are throwing your freedom away. It's just worth it!
