Pardon me for thinking that you were self-centered based on the following, all things you posted in previous comments. Those were the comments that made me think about self-centered individuals. I am only mentioning them because it was my frame of reference on a thread about a young lady who gave up her baby for adoption.

Fair enough, and I'll dial it back a notch.

Perhaps with your choosing those words, you might understand why I had an ill-informed view of you. I do apologize for having misunderstood you. I hope that you and I can come to understand each other better.

Bereft of full context...again, fair enough. But I do stand by my statements regarding my lack of desire for children. Even once my parents pass away (many years from now, one hopes) I will still won't want to have kids.

Ever.

Children are a joy to many, but they're not for everyone. Respectfully, the message I got from you was "You'd love having kids, if only you were wise enough to understand."

It seems a bit condescending.

I’m sorry that I still seemed condescending with my responses. I truly did not mean to be that way, but I see your point.

I hope that in future correspondence on FR, that we both can put aside this difficulty, and treat each other with mutual respect.
