I never wanted kids

60. I agree. It seems like some of the people who didn't have children have a sense of moral superiority about it.

It's as if those of us who had children should be ashamed of it, like we're solely responsible for the health of the planet. I do agree with those who said it should always be about choice.

I would pose the question of what kind of planet would it be if the parents who gave us Jimmy Carter or Einstein or those who have done research that found a cure for some cancers? Or Dr. Fauci or Dr. Salk? What about those of us women who raised a genius who is also kind, compassionate and a functioning member of society and who is working on solutions for environmental problems?

It's silly to think that women like myself who really wanted to be a mother and who can honestly say they enjoyed the experience of raising children should consider not having any for the sake of the planet.
