My husband and I are raising 7 Conservatives; they are our future. I've never bought the "being fair to the child thing" and I'm glad my parents didn't buy into it. ; )

Plus I am selfish and lazy and like kids only marginally.

That is a reason not to have kids. Hats off to you for recognizing/admitting it. Too many are having babies who shouldn't and then they do really asinine things like play video games while the baby starves to death.

seven children? Goodness, then I definitley don’t need to have any. You balanced out the numbers for me.

The world was a lot different when my parents had me. I don’t think that the world today is a very safe place for kids.

Also, too many parents have children for their own uses without being ready. That is not fair to the kids.

However, I am sure that you and your husband are wonderful and committed parents, and I am grateful that your seven will be taking care of me in my Golden Years.
