Childless by choice: selfish?

Here we go again. Those that do not want children are selfish, according to this guy.

Yes, because having a baby when you don't really want one is considered selfless, right? Saying you want children so "I can leave legacies of me behind" or "have someone to take care of me when I am old" are FABULOUS reasons to procreate, right? Having a baby because of family pressure and not desire is the way to go, right?

I can tell you at least HALF of the divorce cases exist because the couple married young and felt :it was the right thing to do to have kids despite the marriage being in trouble.

I love how the couple in the picture is drinking. Ya know, because CBCers are drunken whores.

  1. Right on! Selfishness has nothing to do with it, at least for me and most of the childless women I know. And oh, by the way, being a stepmother is one of the most selfless acts I can think of that goes unnoticed. Even adoptive parents are congratulated yet they have a different kind of bond with the child they've adopted. Stepmothers, and especially childless ones like you and me, have chosen to embrace the product (and constant reminder) of their husband's past love life, something most people want to forget about their partners!
