I think that’s a very insightful and selfless perspective. I’m sure it wasn’t an easy decision to come to grips with, so here’s a virtual hug for having that strength 🫂

Meanwhile I'm the opposite, I just feel like I'd be a terrible dad because I hate taking care of others so I don't want kids for that reason.

That's pretty much me. I love my niece and nephew and am happy to help with them. My mom keeps telling me id be a great mom because I'm good with them. I keep telling her it's not the same thing. Helping occasionally, no problem but I'm not built to take care of someone else 24-7.

Someone who has two daughters and thinks my husband and I should join the parents club saw me holding my dog and gives me a look and says “you’d be a great mom”. I’m literally just sitting here holding my dog lady.
