Default Re: Do you want to have children?

Henry, your worldview has been confusing me this entire thread, but this one takes the cake. Everything we parents have been telling you is the exact opposite of this. YOU are the one trying to convince himself. We need no convincing at all, we're experiencing it, and we pretty much unanimously agree. But then, I guess that's what those of us in a cult do, right

I'm not trying to convince myself or anyone else of anything. I know what I want. I hope other people also know what they want. I would never try to convince someone that not having children is the correct choice.

The issue I have is that as soon as someone states they do not want children the majority of parents come out claiming it is the wrong decision, you'll change your mind, you'll regret it. This need to universalize their personal life choices is what I find objectionable.
