why is it selfish? do you get no pleasure from rising your kids? do you not enjoy spending time with them? if you do, how can it be selfish if you're enjoying it?
No need to, they usually know it.
I'm not jealous of others for it, I can tell you that.
Maybe slightly jealous of those who have enough money to do so, but still if i was in the position, unlikely for me
that's exactly what makes it selfish, deriving pleasure from using other human beings.do you not enjoy spending time with them? if you do, how can it be selfish if you're enjoying it?
Actually you just need to scratch a little below the surface, man. A lot of the time I feel that they're jealous - I mean, I can work from home most days, I can stay up as late as I want and sleep in as late as I want... etc.
To them, this represents an irresponsible "shirking of duties", rather than freedom.
My wife doesn't know how to answer them most of the time. When she meets someone she hasn't met for a while and they ask her if she has any kids, she says "No" and they reply with genuine pity: "Oh that's OK...", as if she's supposed to be sad, depressed or ashamed about it.
When she explains that she's not, they give her a look like she's crazy or something.
It will be sad for you when you are older and have no one to help you.Lol
My IQ is 155, btw... I'm sure my wife's pretty smart too. So... that means... I'm gonna die childless in my 50s while giving sperm for artificial insemination...
I have three sons and they are such a comfort to me.
There is no law against befriending younger people. A lot of people in the Assisted Living Facility my grandmother in do not have their kids around, either, though the kids cheerfully contribute to the bill every month so that perfect strangers can wipe their parent's behind.
If this was a major factor in having children, I have no idea what to say to you. It reeks of indentured servitude where the servant had no say in the matter.
I'll have plenty of people to "help" me if I need itNone of them will be guilted into it.

As to the OP, I can't have kids, but I don't want them, either. It's a trap.
And always remember: unless you love canned tuna, you hate the poor.

Well that's nice to know.
Don't get me wronge I don't feel like Bagdad is a bad person at all for his choice. I was just thinking how lonely I would be without my kids.
Melissa,
When you talk about the young folks helping the old is it in the elderly rest homes?
Man the tales I heard about going in the front door and the hearse is waiting at the back door. I pray I never have go into one of those. Ha
No.
