I personally don't view bearing children in a negative light, I think it would be a privilege to cultivate another human being, one of the most sacred things a person can do, with indeed immense responsibility. I have always been extremely attracted to motherhood, hence some of the work I have done revolves around birthing, its such profound experience, and have devoured many books on the subject, and the fascination does not end, the rabbit hole only goes deeper, I love helping new parents, and being around infants is divine, their energy is so amazing. That being I said if someone does not want any children that is fine, I think parenting should ultimately be for those who are truly serious about it, and not just because its expected or the norm. I also see there are many benefits to the single life, and remaining childless, more freedom to do as one pleases but less sharing with those who touch you the deepest I assume there is nothing like the love between a mother/parent, and a child, a more healthy one that is... Ideally before becoming a parent would do the work on self, and integrate ones traumas in order to minimize the passing down of such experiences. To conclude, I don't view parenting in terms of sacrifice but more in terms of expansion, deep spiritual work, the practice of unconditional love. But I would only procreate with a man, who is in alignment with this, and understands the value of parenting, and is truly committed, and willing to do what it takes. If I didn't meet such an individual then I would choose to remain childless, and continue to practice my art, and enjoy life.
