If people were totally comfortable with their position I don't know why they need to lash out defensively at me because of it (as some people have done before).
Weirdly enough, one of my brothers feels exactly the same way (independently so).
Don't worry, I'm not going to go around playing V-goalie! It's not my decision to make what anyone else does with regards to having kids. And as long as I don't know your address, your kids will probably be fine
I think what gets me is the implied "You're missing out/a deficient person because you don't want kids" attitude that permeates everything. The idea that simply having a child is a net good in and of itself, which is weird.
