re: #67 Nerdy Fish
I agree, but to say that I am happier than a person who does not have kids would be incorrect. I have so many more worries and stresses than I would without kids. But, I also have so many more joys and wonders than a person without kids. In my life, those balance out, but that is not going to be true for everyone.
The right to choose (whether or not, and, if so how many) makes the discussion possible.
