In response to Taryn's Eureka week #3 - Have children or not

I don't think there is anything wrong with you not wanting to have kids. It's ridic. that someone at work thinks your a lesbian for this reason. If anything I think it's nice that your standing by your decission. If you feel taht strongly agasint having children, you must not want them. It would be an awful situation to put you and the child in if you went ahead and had one. I think that many times people don't think about the child. They think of how it will effect THEIR lives, or THEIR schedule. The child has no say in its life. Its born into what ever family it is and must make do with what it's given. On the other hand, parents can think logically. I think people need to think about it that way. Is it important that you have kids? or is it more important that people who want kids get them, and raise a child that they are honored to have and have the time to raise it. I am in no way saying that you wouldnt treat your child well, i am simply saying that you are making a mature decission by realizing your intrests, lifestyle, and personality, and realize that a child wouldn't fit in it for you.
