Well, you almost made it! That was a snide and backhanded insult at those of us without children. Good try.

I'm not sure if you're responding to my quote, or an earlier one... As for my post, no snideness nor backhanded anything was intended... True I was only referring to those who made a choice one way or another. I did not take into consideration those who would choose to have children but could not. However, this is a comment to a post, not a thesis on the topic. My apologies for not being entirely inclusive. My only intent was to put forth the idea that people can be comfortable with whatever they choose - and not need to bow to societal pressures.
If there was anything inferred, it is simply that it is possible to have children and be happy. Many of the posts in this thread likened having children to a battle. A sentiment I don't share, and wanted to communicate.
In kind, your response wasn't exactly full of warmth and understanding.
