None is Enough

I can't say I necessarily liked this article but only because I did not like the way it portrayed the motherhood life. Don't get me wrong, if you do not want to have kids then it is your full human right to do as you please and live as your own individual and there is nothing wrong with that. I am not against people deciding to live childless lives but I feel like this article almost made it seem like a burden and restraint of success to have children. I think nothing is more important than starting or being apart of a family of your own. Everyone came from someone. The most successful people had parents. The person who finds the cure for cancer will come/have come from parents. But also having a kid is your own decision. If you feel it is your destiny to have children and you are willing to make the completely life altering commitment to parenthood then so be it. If you believe it is not your life mission to be a parent then you should not be a parent. The life of a child is precious. It requires life long devotion and love. Its a woman's right to decide whether she wants a child or not and her decision should be respected.  There should be no discrimination of a woman who is childless. Parenting may not be for everyone considering the amount of time, money, commitment, and love they are responsible. Also parenthood takes a lot of sacrifice. Your life will no longer solely revolve around yourself it will revolve around your children. Parenthood sacrifices your career. Raising kids provide little to no time for yourself. It would be extremely hard to focus on your career and your prosperity if you could not be fully devoted. Your life is your life and how you chose to live it is your choice. Its important to keep in mind that children are our future. If you do not have the desire to have children then its not meant to be. The future is fragile and is determined by the children we raise. Everyone has their own right on how they want to contribute to the future.
