[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cringe. Imagine the thousands of years of couples that got together and sacrificed to ultimately get you into this world (including your parents) only to have that genetic line come to an abrupt halt because you think you know better because you went to university and read Twitter. Sad world to live in. [/quote]

Or only having a daughter who marries and rids the family name! The horror!!![/quote]

No, having a daughter is completely fine. At least you did your part to continue the unique history of your family tree. The tree didn’t just wither and die bc “I want to go to brunch for the rest of my life”. And this rant is only directed at people who are “childless by choice” or people who have just given up on family formation due to lifestyle.  If you are medically unable that’s a tragic burden to bear and I feel for you. [/quote]

I’m childless by choice and I never go to brunch—this is just a glib, lazy jab. I didn’t think I’d be a good mother, and the kindest thing I could do for my potential children was not to inflict myself on them.[/quote]
