[quote=Anonymous]Interesting thread … I think we all need to respect different choices as valid …

I have biological and adopted children. It is their decision if they have children or not and I will not love or value them any less if they choose not to have kids. It is extremely expensive to raise children in a good way, and it did hurt my career, which was fine for me, but that choice is not for everyone.

I also don’t agree with the mommy wars where unnecessary vitriol is lobbied between working moms and SAH moms. The is no one right choice for every person or family. There are lots of complicated reasons and circumstances that influence rational and ethical decision making.

We all have shared challenges to face (climate change/ growing wealth inequalities/ race inequalities/ opioid crisis/ reduced life expectancies in USA etc.) /- whether or not we have children.

I have good friends who are happily childless and good friends who have children. I care whether they are kind and intelligent, and not whether they have children. [/quote]
