127. I say good for you LFR!

The biggest threat to this planet is over population. I have 2 grown daughters 30-40 years old and neither have never wanted children and one even went as far to have her tubes tied. I am all for their decision........for many reasons.

They are not well off financially even when they were married, there are way too many humans invading the environment as it is, and I see the employment problem as not enough jobs for those already living, and I also many times over the years have seen having children as a selfish trait. I know I will get flack for saying that but I get sick of hearing about how important it is to carry on the family genes, like they think they are so important or hearing people say "Oh I want a baby, and talk about dressing it and showing it off. So many young people especially just see having a child as an "I want" not thinking of it as growing up to be an adult human with tons of life's problems. Of course there are those that keep having them so as to get bigger welfare checks. At this time the future to me looks very bleak and I am totally afraid of what life in this country or world for that matter will be in 40 years, I can't believe it will be a quality life, hell it barely is now.

I do have 3 grandchildren from my sons and I worry about what life will be like for them in 30-40-50 years. I know I probably don't have the right to say all this as I had 4 children, but many times I have almost wished I hadn't or had given more thought to it when I was young. If I had it to do over I would be just like you LFR
