[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody “misses out on babies” anymore than I missed out on not getting to be childless. [/quote]

Wow, you are an AH poster.

There are millions of childless people who didn’t choose it. [/quote]

And there are millions of mothers who didn’t choose it either… not to mention the mothers who did choose it and found it much harder and more compromising than they could have imagined.

The point is, having kids or not both have significant benefits and significant disadvantages that are mutually exclusive. It’s not like having a child is the same as going on a safari or winning the lottery. Being a parent is much more than “having babies.” Like, I didn’t “miss out on becoming a surgeon” because I didn’t go to medical school … I chose a career that is much less demanding.

“Missing out on having babies” is just a puerile and simplistic way to put it. A baby is not a prize you win. [/quote]

People who are fixating on the "babies" aspect of having children should consider an adorable tiny dog first. I'm not kidding. They are adorable, and they remain adorable. They need you, they love you, you can pick them up and cuddle them, you can spoil them with cute things, you can take pictures of them in things, on things, alone, with you, whatever you want. Do that for five years and if you still want to raise a child into a happy, functioning adult, then go for it. 
SO many people just want the parts of having children that I listed above. And you can tell who those people are because they never refer to having children, or having a family, they just say "babies" a lot. [/quote]
