Today I read this article.
The comments are loaded with baby-people, railing into this guy for having this opinion/thought/feeling/whatever. We'll get to that in a second, but I want to touch on this comment:
..."However, the reason you have children is to be UNSELFISH and give everything you have to raise the next generation."...
Um... can we just agree that either having kids, or not having kids, is neither selfish nor unselfish?! It's just a personal preference. People who choose to have kids, have them because they want them. Why is that "unselfish"? You're not doing a giant solid for the rest of the world 'cause you want to, in the words of a very-funny GOMI commenter, "turn your vagina into a salad shooter for
babies". If you don't do it, someone else will. Let's put it this way, there will never be a shortage of people that feel the need to procreate, mmkay?
Now, onto other pressing matters. I feel for this guy. It would take a lot for me to want 1 baby, but if I ended up prego with 2... I'm not sure I would keep both. Hey, I'm being honest. But I do understand the comments from people who are basically calling this dude insensitive because there are people out there (namely, them) who cannot have 1 baby and would be delighted with twins. It's similar to my issue with skinny chicks complaining that they are fat. But, there's one main difference. It's not the norm. This guy had to write this article anonymously because that's how unpopular his opinion is. I mean, just look at the comments! (Not all of them; who has that kind of time?) Imagine if every time some skinny blogger complained about her fat thighs, all her readers told her to shut it. Ahhh, I'm imagining it right now, and it's wonderful.
