I cannot _imagine_ where someone gets off calling anyone selfish for not having kids. For having them and then neglecting them, OK. But to call you selfish because you feel, "it's just not for me"? Why on earth is that selfish? You just don't feel it's for you. No-one should be ordered to have kids.
maybe intellectuals shouldnt have kids if they are going to overthink everything, the longer she holds off, the harder and more expensive its might be to have a baby.
he needs to:
1 dump the woman and find his 27 year old or
2 become a known/open sperm donor that way he can have children and be a part of their life but without having sexual/emotional contact with another woman
i dont know if he should have kids or not, but he definitely needs a backbone.
Someone that I loathe and love once said to me:
"People who don't have children miss out on the best part of life."
That person was my mom...very rarely is she right but this time she nailed it.
