Why would I want a high five from randos on the internet for having kids?

My husband and I will be very good parents because we are choosing to do this with our lives. I don't want anything from anyone for having kids. I have a ton of accomplishments outside of having kids that Id prefer to be recognised for.

It doesn't change the fact that this is the most unselfish I've ever been.

I'm not discussing this further with anyone. This is silly and everyone I'm responding to is starting to come across as bitter. You do you with your life. I don't care if you have kids or not, or how you go about having them. I pointed out the difficulty of adopting that some seem to overlook when suggesting to "just adopt instead".

also, I really take offence to your wording. I had genetic testing done to try to AVOID passing on what I could, and would have terminated if anything looked too likely. You are making assumptions and making yourself look bitter and, frankly, like kind of an asshole.

On top of that, I have no major genetic issues anyway. Don't have kids if you don't want to. No one will make you and no one cares.
