Some people should not have children. My parents definitely shouldn't have, although I am glad to be alive.

That's very funny. Why shouldn't they have had children?

I'm glad you're alive. Most importantly, God is.

I agree. I heard "if I didn't have you kids..." too many times as a child. It's far more selfish to have children and make them feel like they are burdens to you than it is to make a conscious choice not to have them at all.

I can grok to that sentiment.

I'll bet many 'child-free by choice' women will change their minds when they're 50, 60, or even 70 years old, however. Thanks (or no thanks) to modern medicine, we'll be seeing even more of the 'elderly mom' spectacles than we're already seeing now.

Bad idea for the kids.

I'm one of those people who shouldn't have children. I didn't. Big deal.

Neither should my husband's parents. I thank God for him, but his mother especially was never prepared for what it took to have kids. She was already a bad mother while he was still in the womb.

I'm sorry but I'm glad you're here too homeo!
