    True. One doesn’t have to explain their choice in having children to others anyway.

    It just feels strange, to have an opportunity to give a child a better life than most of the people on the globe can, to want children, and to choose against.

      I don’t think I’d be a good parent so I decided to not have children. I’m in my forties so this is unlikely to change
