No Children.

I remember as a child I expressed, under no uncertain terms, that I did not want to have children when I got older.

Adults, and one of my cousins in particular, jested about how I'd "meet the right woman" and wouldn't keep this opinion.

If it isn't completely obvious from all my posts, I do NOT understand this society/culture.  The things I experienced as a child, from other children, is NOT something I would want anyone else to experience - particularly someone I love.  To me, having a child is a choice.  While biologically I'm programed to want to have children to pass on my genes, I've always thought that part of being a human being is over coming these inherent biological desires - to be more than another stupid animal.

Icing on this cake, is the sheer COST of having children.  I won't go into details, there's enough all over the internet.
