  • Your second paragraph implies that parents experience no joy or other not-selfless feelings as a result of having the child. That is a reward.

    And you're simply logically incorrect to say that your actions don't impact others if you don't have children. I can't even begin to imagine where you came up with that idea.

  • Thank you. It is very hard. I spent years learning to identify and find mushrooms! I had just been looking to start cultivating them myself when I went on an extreme elimination diet to try and see what are all these things that must be upsetting my stomach. Mushrooms, which I ate pretty much every day and sometimes more than once, are sadly one of them.

    That will not stop me from eating morels and the occasional chanterelle when I find them. Worth it.

  • There is nothing selfish about not having children. Ask any parent why they wanted children, and the answer is often "I just wanted them", "otherwise, who would take care of me when I'm old?", or "I wanted a little version of myself". All selfish.

    Of course, so many people have children accidentally without actively wanting them that I think a lot of reasons are made up after the child has already been birthed.
