    Very recently, I was chatting with a coworker who is a dad, and he said, “I love my kids, but don’t do it”

    Bit of a different vibe from that guy.

      It’s a commitment. If you are not willing to have your life completely changed then yeah, you better not do it. It’s not a path for selfish people. There is not a lot of “me time”, as a parent.

        IDK that I’d be so quick to refer to people who don’t have kids as selfish… Certainly there are selfish people that shouldn’t have kids for that reason, but not all people who are willingly childless, are selfish.
