Narcissisim being chief

Wrong. Normal as hell. Parent still married. Middle class. Private school. Loving home.
Same for my SO.. who also doesn’t want kids.

You’re late to the thread. I responded to a poster specifically addressing myself and Peck.

i don't want to have kids now and the thought of kids disrupting my life is scary to me, but on the same token, i know that's completely self-centered narcissism and/or anxiety and the thought of life without kids ultimately is even scarier. that fear is actually so overwhelming that i think it warps my brain into going into "least conflict" analysis, which ends up with a perceived logical conclusion that i'm not ready for kids

I guess he is saying that those that choose to become priests and nuns come from messed up homes as well.
Or clearly have a personality disorder.
Like Mother Theresa....what a selfish, narcissistic woman she was I tell ya
Why can’t it just be that....not everyone wants the same thing in life?

i understand, but your point is irrelevant due to what i said. you and pecker, you and whomever, or pecker and whomever, it's irrelevant because it's results-oriented thinking (with some threats of self fulfilling prophecies in there)

Tell that to your kids, and I'm sure your husband would like to hear it, too. He's probably so glad that you think so much of him and your family.
Welcome to the real world.

Always looks better on the other side until you get there, love the judgemental parents in here though.
I remember when parents use to give me shite about not knowing what it's like and that garbage. Now that I am a parent, I can expose their bullshite lies. Parents are just judgemental fricks that barely have a clue themselves.
Next time some parent says some garbage about how you don't know because you don't have kids, tell them to suck a D and you have a better view of their little assholes, maybe they should put in some effort.

Priests, those who have taken the vows of consecrated life do not, then, take a human partner in matrimony.
Mother Teresa did not have a husband. Priests, on the whole, do not marry a woman.
Ordination or consecration, do not and are not intended to provide for a nuclear family. Matrimony is thusly intended for the most part.
Those who marry with no intention of sharing themselves, their love with the other for the purpose of rearing children? Different story, altogether.

So those married couples that don’t have kids because they are infertile are ok?
Those married couples that chose not to have kids are to be judged harshly and clearly have something wrong with them?
That is your stance?

There are plenty of benefits to marriage besides child rearing. This isn’t the 1950s, getting your partner’s healthcare, being able to make medical decisions, and all kinds of other benefits make marriage attractive to people who may not want children.

I'm not what I would consider parent of the year, but my kids are an absolute gift (as far as I'm concerned) that keeps giving back every day.
You can have all the other nonsense. Not nearly as rewarding as your own flesh and blood.

Most parents are deep down a little bit jealous of single friends that travel a lot and have no attachments.
My wife and I were married 12 years with no child. We were spontaneous and did as we pleased.
Now our life is more structured but much richer after having our daughter. She is so sweet and loving that it melts your heart.
