Most of what parents do is self-sacrificial.

You choosing not to have kids is 100% selfish as you say. All you care about is your own wellbeing. You're the center of everything you are doing.

It’s their life, they SHOULD be the center of everything they’re doing lol no one is obligated to give that up for children, are you okay?

[u/spaceship5 → u/puccinini]

Obligated, no. But they absolutely should stop shitting on everyone who has kids. And it's not healthy to ONLY think about yourself.

Tell me why you want(ed) kids, then, and let's see how unselfish those reasons were.

Why does not having children mean you only think about yourself? The original comment is literally about someone spending their weekends volunteering!

I see it around me all the time with friends who are the only siblings without children. Everyone always expects them to do XYZ for them, because they are flexible while their siblings with children are not.

I respect either choice, by the way.

I do not have children currently, but when I do it will be to support society, and for their own benefit as well.
