Sage, you mentioned the word "selfish" Allot of people say it's selfish not to have kids . . . where does that come from i wonder??

Isn't it the ultimate maturity to say that "I'm not going to do just what everyone else is and have kids because i'm supposed to . . . " Doesn't it show true maturity to say . . . "this isn't for me."

I think many people who have kids now would have choosen to be childless, but it didn't used to be as accepted.

I think it's selfless not selfish to say, i don't want to be a parent and i'm not going to have one to fit into a societal mold.
