For Crying Out Loud

Description

Stamp template: fav.me/d21wyc0

"I'm never having kids!" "No, I won't 'come around'!" "Love and marriage are not just for having children!" "It's my life, I do what I want!" "I'd rather have a cat or a dog." "I'm a woman, not a god-damn baby factory/incubator/broodmare!" "Overpopulation!!!!!!!!!!!"
I've heard such complaints from a great deal of people on this site, and I'm tired of it. So here's what I have to say:

If you don't want kids, that's fine, just don't have them. Never mind those nagging friends and relatives; you're not being selfish or useless or whatever. There's nothing wrong with being "childless by choice", as long as you aren't rude about it. Just please, calm down already! Get a pet or something. Sheesh...

My apologies if this offended anyone. This is something that's been bugging me lately, and I needed to get it off my chest.

Yeah, but I call BS on the overpopulation excuse, what about the people that die everyday?! Even we were mid-populated they'd find excuses.

I like kids and want to have them someday... except at the rate I'm going I'll just have adopt or in case my future spouse turns out to be someone with young kids I can help raise. Wow, when I become so grim?
