    I’m very happy that I don’t have kids. I still have no idea what compels people to have kids these days. They must not know the things I know.

      Every now and then I see a parent having a tender moment with their child and I smile. I then reflect on whether my vasectomy/shirk of parenthood was the right choice.

      I always come to the conclusion that it was. Perhaps when I’m older I will feel differently but I just can’t imagine that in my life for a long time.

        Worst case scenario for me is I go “kidnap” my niece and nephew for a weekend and get it out of my system.

      Completely agree.

      Look at an ocean temperature graph if you are even entertaining the idea of bringing new life into the world.
