I agree.. I think when I was younger i didnt have a grasp of what selfishness really meant until i started to get older. People really do have them so they can have somebody to take care of them when they get older. That is pure selfishness.

You have seen it especially as a social worker, i have seen it as a nurse.

I had patients tell me all the time kids are not worth it. Enjoy your life, you only get one and when you get old you wasted 18 years of your life on them.

Instead do something you love.

I will be content dying alone with my animals, on my front porch knowing the choices i made were mine and I was never forced to do something I never wanted.

I also never wanted to be pregnant, thinking about it always made me feel gross!

Or breastfeeding, yuck...

All my nephews are at the annoying age, I cant even stand to be around them now!

Thank you so much for this thoughtful comment.
