I have no problem with people who choose not to have children for any reason. Just like no one has to understand why I enjoy kids so much and how being a mom is and always was the most important thing to me. I would have liked to have 10 (that scared the hell out of some boyfriends, lol) but stopped at 4.
You made some excellent points in your post.
Thank you. I think I do understand why most people want to have kids. My sister is totally into motherhood and it brings immense joy into her life. The nieces and nephews are a lot of fun, and it's amazing to see them develop from babies into walking, talking little people with their own personalities.
But I know the job also comes with a lot of heartache, stress, and sacrifice. That's why I have a lot of respect for her and everyone else who makes an honest effort at raising children.
