I think the decision for most heterosexual couples not having children is often based on fear. Having a child is scary on many levels, and society has placed ones personal status as the highest plane. Being a good mother isn't 'good enough' for women these days.
I think in the long run they will regret it as age catches up, past dreams have either been realized or failed, and its too late. |
there's a fair amount of people I hear who are fearful, but mine and a number of my peers, it's not based on fear. my wife and I are too selfish with our time and resources to devote them to a child.
I understand the idea of regret and there are some that do regret not making the plunge themselves and even some wonder why they waited so long.
I know all the feelings that are there in the above paragraphs and I've wandered through them bit by bit.
But your statements to me ring as it does for anyone who's not savored or sampled some tasty morsels of food. People saying, "Trust me after you try it you'll wish you tried it sooner."
Sure that may be the case, but taking a person who's been ignorant of the feelings their whole lives doesn't really comprehend what they are missing, nor will they ever no matter how many times someone says it.
