The one downside of not having kids is that some people may see me as selfish. But even that isn’t that much of a drawback, because who do you want to hang out with, someone who has kids or someone who doesn’t? Who do you want to hire, someone who has kids or someone who doesn’t? People thinking I’m selfish makes me want to laugh. SO WHAT? In the US today, there are literally no reasons to have kids unless you really, really want a small life form to be completely dependent on you. Fortunately, cats don’t need babysitters!
