Pretty much whatever I want to
A little over a year ago I picked up my whole life and moved somewhere I'd dreamed of living for some time. A decision I made in a couple of hours while I was enjoying a little break in Las Vegas.
I've changed career several times, I spend lot of time in nature with my dog, I do the things that make me happy, whenever I choose to do so
I volunteer in my community, try to do things that are of benefit to society, rather than consuming, just for its own sake
That is awesome. But how is this incompatible with kids?
They'd reduce my ability to do things on a whim
They'd reduce my free time
They'd reduce my finances
They'd reduce my will to live
Ah. It's a you thing. Not a kids thing. Got it.
I stated clearly that I have an intense dislike for kids
They would add no value to my life
Exactly. None of this is incompatible with having children. Children are incompatible with you.
Good decision not having kids.
