            Thanks for your response,your choice to remain child free shows how unselfish you are,you put your wants last and what you thought would be in the best interest first.It was very brave of you to put responsibility first,as so many people aren't,and bring children into the world because they want them,but not whats best.I applaud you for your courage, because I'm sure it was a hard decision to make.Thanks so much for sharing, I'm sure your family and friends are blessed to have you there to share with.God bless! :)

                  My wife and i never had children, certainly was not for lack of trying , of course we love kids we both have plenty of nieces and nephews that we enjoy, sometimes we don't want to give them back, but god has a reason for everything..

                    I knew from an early age I did not want to have a child. I knew that I had problems and those problems could be passed on and for the life of me, I did not want to see that happen. I turned out OK however it took a lot to get me to that point and I would never have or still don’t have the resources to help a child overcome the problems that it might face with my gens.

                      Two chidren should be enough for any couple. Think about the world population and think about the kids' job prospects.
