[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]

Not the PP, I have 3 kids and this kind of response to someone saying they don't want kids makes me cringe. Why is it selfish to not want kids? Who are YOU to call someone you do not know selfish for their life choices which have no impact on you? Who are YOU to impose your life choices on others? What is selfish are the people who are not fit to be parents who have kids anyway - and then you read about them in the news when they kill or hurt their children, or you see the young parents with 4+ kids walking from DC General Shelter to the corner store yelling at each other and cursing in front of the kids. Or the young mom yelling at her 2 year old to "Hurry the f*ck up" as he is halfway back crossing a busy intersection where no one who makes a turn will see him. 
Good thing they listened to you and weren't "selfish".     [/quote]
