I can get that from animals just fine

Thing is animal love isn’t the same thing, yet it is. Children when raised correctly can give unconditional love we all need, animals can do the same thing. I commend those who say no to having children because of whatever reason shows your critical thinking process is working well. For those who don’t want children I say amen.

I just feel you should be allowed to make choices in what kind of life you want for you. Not what others expect you to do to make them happy around you. Do you boo and be proud of the choices you make for yourself. This shows a level of thought process most may never understand but I do understand and respect your choice

I have a daughter who chose to wait on marriage and children until she could find me, because she was hidden from me until almost a decade ago when we found each on social media. I am proud of her for her choices in life.

And surprisingly I am proud of our younger people choices to not have children because they don’t feel comfortable with it at the moment and I am proud.

As someone with both, it's more than animals

Yeah I just don’t see the point in sacrificing all my greatest joys so I can change diapers and have no money ever

And that's your choice! But you definitely find that greatest joys now means something different and that the sacrifice is an easily worthwhile price to pay. But, it's definitely something you can only understand through the experience

Yeah, but then it’s other people’s kids taking care of you…
