[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Extremely happy childless couple here. Our house is clean, quiet, and free of plastic thingamabobs in primary colors. Our bank accounts are full. We travel extensively, dine out, host friends, sleep in, and have lots of time to talk, exercise, cook elaborate meals, read, and sit in quiet contemplation. We are also an excellent aunt and uncle to our nephew and nieces. I understand the allure of children but am very happy with my choice. It's such a personal decision. [/quote]

Well, aren't you selfish.  [/quote]

This rates pretty low on the selfishness scale, if at all.

As a mother of two under 5, I got jealous reading that post! I would love to have a month of that, and then have my kids delivered back safe and sound[/quote]

It’s not selfish but that sounds like an incredibly shallow life to me. [/quote]

[b]Child free people volunteer to more social causes than parents do…they are also often caretakers of extended family members. Stop judging them as shallow. There are more ways to give back to society than procreation.[/b][/quote]

+100. It was a wakeup call to me how absolutely SELFISH I would become when I had kids. My world became much, much smaller. My capacity to deal with anything outside my own orbit went down considerably. I view raising my kids as an inherently narcissitic endeavor compared to my childfree days. Sorry, not available for much! I have kids![/quote]
