[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also just want to say that although unlike you I will never again go to sleep at night without wondering about my children, and I'll never stop living with the fear that bad things will one day happen to them and I can't stop them, my children are so much more than the things I will never have because of them. They made me the person I was supposed to be. Having kids deepens your compassion because suddenly in every human you see the possibility of that being your child. You know they too had a mother. You look at your child doing something and it blows you away and you realize wow, if I feel this about MY kid, my mom felt that way about ME. Their love is unconditional which makes you work that much harder to earn it, so they can be proud to say of you "That's MY MOM!" I would not be half the woman I am today if I had never had my kids. I can't imagine trading that in for brunch and some extra sleep. [/quote]

Oh please.  Don't trivialise someone's life choices by saying it's just "brunch and some extra sleep."
Her life choices are no less valid or important than yours.
I could say that you are sacrificing your independence and freedom for some shitty diapers and drool.  How does that feel?[/quote]

It doesn't make me feel anything. I'm not trying to trivialize her choices but those are literally the reasons she gave for why she doesn't have kids, which is why I used them. [/quote]
