Sorry- not a man but I feel like I've done an enormous service to our race, the planet AND my potential child by not bringing them into this world! I don't think my genes would have made them very happy. I would have given them an upbringing similar to mine- in which they were polite and respectful of people- so they likely would have been walked over. They no doubt would have inherited my shy, unhappy genes and I'm hardly a stable role model for anyone. I'm not in a financially stable enough position to support them either. I think it would have been a disaster for me to have had children!
That said- I'm truly sorry for you if those urges are there for you. I think I'm just too repulsed by this world and our species to think it would be a good thing to contribute in upping our numbers. Especially with my own flesh and blood! I love them too much to not want to risk bringing them into this.
I guess I'm always curious when people do want children. I guess it's a natural drive. Are you happy and grateful to have been born though? I guess some people aren't but they know just what to put right to ensure that their children have a good life. I just don't get it though- sorry!
Not a man either - have I fulfilled my "womanly duties" ie reproduce? No, and I'm still glad I chose to have my fallopian tubes removed. I knew from an early age I didn't ever want to bring a person into this world. Years prior to the fallopian tubes being removed, I did become pregnant though I chose to have an abortion. If I didn't, I'd have a 15 year old son or daughter now.
Wish my parents thought more carefully when they decided to have me. They had 2 already but just had to have another one…and for what? To abuse and exploit.
I remember before I chose to abort, my mother was trying to persuade me not to, because she wanted another grandchild. Another living accessory.
No way.
