Hey, thanks for the response. I actually enjoyed reading your reasons a lot, especially the last one.
I mean, isn't it judgmental for childless people to call those who have children selfish?
I can see how judging the action would put judgement on those who perform it. But personally I scrutinize my own decisions (diet, purchases) vs my ethics quite a bit, but I do not think about what my neighbours eat or buy, or whether they recycle. :P
I don't really think that a person is suddenly enlightened or "selfless" because they ultimately decided not to have a child.
Totally agree with this. You could say it about a # of different "enlightened" behaviours lol
