........that is the question.
My wife told me that she was watching one of these talk shows (Oprah or something like that) and she said that they were having a discussion about having children and specificly about couples that decide not to have children. Some said that they just didn't think they were ready, some said that their lifestyles just weren't conducive to raising children and others said that they simply just liked their lives just the way they were.
She said that then some of the mothers in the audience started verbally assaulting (probably an over-statement) these people saying that they were being selfish and that unless they had children they weren't fully realizing their potential. I guess they couldn't comprehend why anyone with the means to support a child wouldn't want to have one.
We found this issue particularly interesting because my wife and I are kind of in the middle on this issue. Depending on what day you ask us you'll get a different answer on whether or not we want children. If we decide not to I hardly think that we will have wasted our lives or we will be unfullfilled.
What do you think?
