So what if I do not want to have kids?

Re: So what if I do not want to have kids?

There could be any number of reasons why a couple chooses to remain childless....perhaps they enjoy each other's company and the freedom to pcik up and go out whenever and wherever they want. They find fulfillment in their careers and each other and see children as a burden that would take away the things they enjoy most in life. Its like trying to convince a hard-core chocolate lover that vanilla is actually the better flavor (a shallow comparison but pretty apt). Anyway, I have heard of couples who preferred to be childless but gave in to pressures and went on to start families....they are not happy people. Not everyone finds fulfillment in parenthood. It is a blessing IMHO but its not for everyone. And when we people interfere with the desires of others, inevitably it will do nothing but cause pain and heartache for all concerned. Live and let live, yeah?
