A fair statement, even though the phrasing is meant to be humorous and tongue-in-cheek.

I'm 42 and have simply never felt the desire to be a parent. Never felt a biological need to reproduce. Don't get me wrong, I have a libido, but never wanted a baby to come from it.

I can rave for hours about how great the DINK life is. A sibling comment talked about the logistics of traveling on vacation with kids. It's amazing to not have to deal with any of that.

Yeah.

If you’re not looking forward to it being the main event, you probably should just skip it all together and save yourself the disappointment.

Parenting is extremely undervalued in modern society.

A lot of people who don't characterize it as a "side-quest" shouldn't be parents either.

And yet they reproduce anyway.

It's a good thing then that they're quite deliberately skipping it without compunction, though it seems not without unwarranted judgement.

I knew it wouldn't be long before the blood-and-soil folks came out lol. Why do you feel the need to suggest not becoming a parent to someone who just said it wasn't the life they wanted? Do you mete out the same judgement on parents who also should have abstained?
