DUH - 'ya don't say! Something I always knew. I decided I didn't want children when I was 14, and I'm 44 now. I am more than happy adopting unwanted animals and sponsoring orphaned children, thank you very much! There's absolutely nothing wrong with people deciding not to have children. Both my older brothers have kids, and both their marriages are unhappy ones. To top it all off, their children are selfish and ungrateful - bad parenting at its finest.
