[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Childfree by choice here. "Rich" (comparably), white, and educated. We don't really like kids. We don't want to spend 20+ years raising them. We don't need them in our old age (and don't think it is wise to count on them), because we have $$$. The idea of an adult, raised family is appealing, but we're not really willing to make the sacrifices it takes to get there and we find it, at best, a risky bet. [/quote] This, in a nutshell, answers your subject line question, OP. Selfishness and "me-first" is what is important today, and this is yet another way it manifests itself.[/quote] Yes, it's so selfish not to have children. Now tell me... why did you have children? My guess is the answer would start with "I wanted" or some other "I" statement. Having children is a selfish act. Not having children is a selfish act. Just because you have to be self-less once you have them doesn't mean that the choice to have them isn't selfish. It's all about what you want for your life. [/quote]
