I never wanted children. It is not because I dislike kids. I just felt that it was a huge responsibility that I was not willing to take on. IMO, many more people should opt not to have kids. So many people have children without thinking it through, and then these kids are neglected. That should never happen.
I asked my father once if it bothered him that I never wanted kids. He said, "Heck no! We aren't animals for breeding!" He is right.
There are too many people in the world right now. We are stressing the planet's resources. Experts have said that one of the most effective things you can do to help the plant is to NOT HAVE KIDS. I realize that if no one had kids, we would be extinct in 100 years. But we do need to stem population growth. |
