[quote=Anonymous]I desperately wanted children. I wanted children so badly that I tried to conceive while single. I spent about five years and a hundred grand trying. I used IVF, a surrogate, all of it. It didn't work out and there will always be regrets. But my goodness, from what I read and hear and observe of parents, things are rough. Six year olds in constant crisis over their gender, eleven year olds in polyamarous relationships, bankrupting and marriage destroying special health concerns, not to mention school violence, drugs, extreme wealth inequality, the environment... Parenting seems so much more difficult than it was twenty years ago, and everything is more expensive. I have a wonderful pet who will probably die before the world goes completely down the drain, and I'm cool to check out any time after she does. My life didn't turn out the way I had hoped, but I must say that it's a peaceful one. [/quote]
