Not yet, but I want children.
But what I want shouldn't matter. Bringing a new life into the world should be the biggest decision an adult ever has to face. It's a really big deal.
If I can't provide a childhood filled with new experiences, intellectual vigor, travel, and a mostly outdoor lifestyle, then maybe I shouldn't be a parent. If I will be spending most of my time in an office as a fiat slave, only able to spend an hour per day with my child, then maybe I shouldn't be a parent.
I struggle with this question a lot. Maybe I over-analyze these kinds of things. But, as I said above, it's a really big fucking deal. Maybe others aren't analyzing it enough.
