I am 25 years old, and live with my girlfriend of 10 years. We both have excellent jobs and college degrees and make about 100k a year together. Neither of us want children. I plan to go to law school next year, and my girlfriend is starting medical school. Sometimes I feel selfish for not wanting children. I am the last chance for my family to have someone carry on my family name. I know that my father would love to have someone to carry on the name. I just don't think I'm that person. Maybe when I'm older I will have children, but right now I enjoy spending my money on myself.
Am I a selfish jerk?
Please provide your feelings.
