how is this selfish if, by your own admission, you will need to take care of the child regardless?

I'm sorry, what world do you live in in which every child born is taken care of well?  What exactly do you think will happen when someone with no parental desire or instinct pops out a kid and realizes "oh crap, this is not fun at all and my life is now ruined for the next 18 years?"

You think they're just going to put on their best Stepford Wives face, scrimp and save to move to a great school district, join the PTA, read to them every night, and watch them grow up to attend Harvard while watching their own hopes and dreams go down the toilet?

Or do you think they'll grow resentful, ignoring them at best, psychologically and physically abusing them at worst, or just take the even easier route and just dump them into the foster care system? [/quote]

you seem to carrying a chip on your shoulder. most people take decent care of their kids. also, most kids are unplanned anyway. only at stuckup DCUM culture is having a child some huge decision one needs to ponder for years.[/quote]

And yet I'd be willing to bet money you moved to an upper class suburb specifically for the school district.  But that couldn't be, if all parents take great care of their kids what would be your issue with sending your own kids to DCPS or PG schools?   [/quote]
