That’s why we may have to agree that having kids is relatively more selfish than not having kids, all things considered.[/quote]
I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree. I think having and raising children is more selfless than not having children (by ones own accord). You think it’s the other way around. I say making sacrifices for 25+ years for your own DNA (but still another person that’s not yourself) is more selfless than spending that 25+ in self indulgence. You think they’re the same or the other way around. BTW, raising children doesn’t always mean you’re raising your own DNA. I think foster parents are even more selfless.
I tried not to personalize anything. It’s just a fact that there are a lot of little things that goes on in raising a child that people who never raised a child will never know (unless they do a lot of research). Even if they do a lot of research, one can only imagine how it might make them feel, but nothing beat first hand experience.
