Having children should be an opt-in decision, not an opt-out one. So for me, having children is fuck yes or not at all. I can’t even take a step back for the sake of self-care or whatever, or else my child will suffer. I cannot opt out of being a parent once I become a parent. I can sell a house, quit a job, divorce a spouse, whatever. Out of all the major decisions I will make in my life, this one is the only irreversible one.
I am probably not going to have children, not because I REALLY REALLY HATE the idea of having children, but because I don’t really really love it. I find it fascinating that people who choose not to have children are generally assumed to feel really strongly about not having children (or even to feel really strongly against children, anyone’s children, in general).
