The reason I don't want kids doesn't have anything to do with money. It has to do with the fact that I don't want the responsibility (I only water the houseplants when they start looking a little droopy; at least CPS won't come after me if I let them wilt). And no, I don't especially like children. I'm not mean to them, I just don't pay particular attention to them if they happen to be around (which isn't often - nearly all of my friends have historically been other gay men and my bf's siblings don't have kids - I don't know anyone who has children).
As for "the point of being here"....that really is a discussion for another thread, but I don't think it has anything to do with "leaving things/children behind."
