Reply #294: I've been a childless adult

[PatSeg]

as well as a mother of two. I know what it is like to not have children and though my path was difficult, I prefer having children to not having them. If someone prefers to not have children, I can understand that, but I can't understand how they would imply that they understand the choices that others have made or infer that they might be better off without children.

Tolerance of other people's choices would be a big step towards understanding and for the most part I've seen that in this thread.

And yes, the simple answer is "love is the reason"!
