sadly if someone doesn't want to be here I don't think we should force them to stay. It's a hard convo to have but I think we should have a say of when to stop fighting.

I’m 40 and I want a baby. I just never got pregnant and I don’t want to do IVF. I have also been attracting partners who don’t want kids. I can’t help but wonder if maybe it’s not meant for me and with my age now maybe something I’m being protected from.

I went for a walk today and I couldn't help but be soooooooo at peace with my decision to not have children. There's just no point for me.

We just think about the fun things with kids not the what ifs.

I’m a paraplegic and this injury is tough. I’m sending hugs to the man who wrote in and his daughter. 💜

Exactly you have to picture having a baby, a teen, a healthy kid, a sick kid, a criminal, a hero. Anything is possible. I opted out not cause I didn’t want kids but because I didn’t want to not be a good parent or face all options based on my own trauma

I think hearing these stories is so important. I’m childless by choice, not because I don’t like kids or feel like I would be a bad parent, there’s just always been something inside of me that considered giving life is often giving someone you love the burden of struggling. Maybe that’s the point of life, idk, but I’m fascinated how most are so blinded by the glorified expectations of how great & happy their children’s lives will be. There are so few in situations like mine where I almost love my potential children so much, I don’t want to put them in a position of nearly certain suffering.

Oldest needs access to medical assistance in dying in case she wants it. She’s an adult.

If this happened to my sibling my goal would be to grow up and be able to figure out how to care for her/figure out how to get assistance. Idk. This is sad

my heart goes out to this man. it is ok to feel what you feel. you have a lot on your plate and I am not sure you have fully grieved everything you have gone thru. I am a parent of a child who has Cerebral Palsy and is in a wheelchair. I know how hard it is to have a human fully depend on you. I do have my husband and my other son but that's pretty much it. we don't have the "village" others boast about. I always worry about what will happen once we are gone. It is an awful awful feeling not knowing. much love to you sir.

after my son was born I have had a really bad string of bad luck. huge life events one after the other. I appreciate his perspective because it is so true. Anything can happen and you still have to step up and be there and present for another human being. Sometimes I think wow being a mom is wonderful and I love my son, but most of the time it has been so fricken hard and I wouldn’t wish it on someone else. I waited til I was late 20’s to have him and I’m now mid 30’s and will not have any other children, I mention that because it’s important to note I wasn’t young, I planned for it eventually happening and when it did I was happy. Life just doesn’t always go to plan, and kids make it that much harder
