Just loved how this flowed.

I think our culture makes fun of people, who don’t have children. There is the biological drive and the social drive. When you actually have children, it takes you out of the equation because now you are serving another. I have never wanted children except with one woman. She didn’t stay long. But, seriously, after all these years the uncertainty in not wanting children meant I didn’t want or need them. This was probably stimulated by the fact my father died when I was ten and left my mother, sister, and me stranded. Luckily for my mother, she got help from an attorney. But, she should have never had children. My wonderful mother deserved to live her life free. She had nothing after he died.

There is a woman I know, absolutely abused as a child, who desperately wants to have a child, but she can’t even take care of her dog. She is doing well getting her Masters in nursing, but that dog is nuts and a sad soul. How is she going to work if she has a child? What is sad is her nursing degree probably manifests what I read in a psychology book: Someone helpful is crying for help.
