Thanks for calling childfree people selfish

I'm glad whoever she is has made a decision that works for her but she doesn't need to throw childfree people under the bus.

Re: Is it really so altruistic to become a mother?

[ex_hellrider602]

My impression is that this woman has always wanted kids, it just took some time for her to be ready for it. She did not say "I used to be against becoming a parent but I changed my mind."


Yeah. It might be unselfish to not have kids - f.ex. if someone has serious personal and mental problems, it would be not too responsible to have kids. Not being able to give the attention, care and material things that children need, BUT posing in the role of the Sacrificing Mother - would it be so altruistic?
