[quote=Anonymous]In a recent online chat someone asked about deciding whether or not to have kids. Carolyn's response was "If you were a kid, would you want you as parents? If not, you shouldn't have them". On one hand that's a simple answer that makes a lot of sense - if you wouldn't want you how can you justify doing that to someone else - on the other it seems like a really high bar! If I was a kid, would I pick me? No I'd probably pick the parents with 1000x more patience, who loved playing make believe on the floor with me, who had time to be at every soccer game and could give calm subtle guidance for anything life threw at me.
