[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Completely different that you wanted them but it didn't work out.

I give like 10% thought to people who didn't have children but could have, but didn't want them. I think they have denied themselves having a full life, the full human experience.

However, again, different from you. You have recognized that there does exist a loss. I am sorry for your loss, btw. I think your loss will be apparent to others, on some level, spoken or not.[/quote]

Similar to this, I find them a little self-centered in a way that anyone is when they don't have 100% responsibility for a young child. I don't hold that against them (I used to be that way). I am not saying that OP is self-centered since I don't even know her/him, that's just my experience with people I know. [/quote]

Yes, my first responder causing, or my doctor sibling who provides life-saving services for free are totally self-centered because they don't have children.

You are both idiots![/quote]

The people I know who were self-centered before they had kids remain self-centered after having kids.  It's just that they count their kids as being part of themselves.  So if they expected everything to revolve around their schedule and preferences before, now everything is supposed to revolve around their kids and their schedules, etc.  Their personality didn't really change at all.
