Thank goodness someone saw fit to take care of and raise the two of you. I hope you consider yourselves blessed, because you are blessed beyond compare, whether or not you realize it. You both were once children. You were infants, then toddlers, then youngsters, then tweens, and then teenagers before you ever were adults.
Someone, once upon a time ago, nursed you. Someone once spoon fed you, and changed your dirty diapers. You were screaming at the time, yet that person saw your pain, and changed that diaper, because you could not do it yourself. Someone put up with you during both your good and precious moments as a baby and child, and also loved you right through your really draining and difficult moments. Even if you were abused, someone LOVED YOU, our Maker.
You should kiss the ground they walk on to thank those who gave you life, and raised you. Don’t give me this cr@p about not being cut out to do the job.
It IS a hard job, and many, many times, thankless, but parenthood is the BEST JOB and the MOST MEANINGFUL JOB that God ever gave anyone to do.
I’m done trying to convey to you the preciousness of babies and children. There are so many AWESOME moments to go along with the difficult ones. I hope one day you truly understand that.
When people are self-centered, they lose out. In a big way. Trouble is, they usually don’t see it until it’s too late.
Yes they did...and now I, in turn, have been taking care of them. One year ago, they both had to go into a nursing home, as they both now require 24/7 skilled care. For years before that, though, I lived with them and cared for them. So don't give me any crap about not being willing to change a soiled diaper. I've done so countless time for both of my parents.
In the meantime, I'm power of attorney for both medical and financial purposes, and visit them at least three times per week, with multiple daily phone calls. So I know a thing or two about responsibility.

I've been single my entire life, and am almost certain to remain so. Please tell me....do you think I should have kids, given that?

The last thing I need in my life is a child to take care for the next 20 years.

Yeah, that's me....selfish (insert graphic of rolled eyes).
“I’m done trying to convey to you the preciousness of babies and children.”
Oh for heaven’s sake,I had five children and have a bunch of grandchildren, but as far as I’m concerned someone who doesn’t want children shouldn’t have them.
Babies that are born to parents who don’t want them usually don’t end up well and anyone wise enough to make that decision does not deserve to be considered self centered.
