First of all, I commend your reasons for choosing not to have children. Overpopulation is a serious problem. And I respect your decision not to become a mother if you feel you would not be a good parent. Look at all the horrible parents out there who had children just because they thought they ‘had’ to. I am a mother of two children: a 24-year-old daughter and a 6-year-old son. After my daughter was born, people hounded me relentlessly for years about when I planned on having ‘the boy.’ Well, it took me 18 years and another husband to finally have a son. We evolve as people over the years and our needs change. Perhaps one day you will decide to have children. Until then: You should feel more confident about your decision, and tune out anyone who can’t respect your chosen lifestyle.
