Me: having children is a wonderful thing that will add deep meaning and fulfillment to your life. Random nostr users: you are an arrogant douchebag and a privileged rich white guy. Fuck you. I hope you die.

I'm 51 years old, prospering and in good health. I have an awesome wife, and we have NO children. (We're actually Catholic, so we don't contracept.) I have no problem telling young couples to generously make babies. That's what we're supposed to do. It is a great blessing on so many levels. I understand that when we are older and need assistance, my wifeand I will have no family to help us or care for us. And when one of us dies, the other will be all alone. It's a cross from God we will bear. It will be okay. But one should never choose this path for the sake of fun now, for convenience now, for independence now. That's a terrible trade-off you will regret if you had a choice.
