Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I'm glad you brought this up as there are people I know who I think are sad that they didn't have kids when all their friends do, but I think it's important to point out that all of them don't regret their decision, they love their lives and freedom and have spent a long time traveling even with jobs that don't normally allow that much flexibility, I think people in the comments are being too harsh on you but there's really not that many people in the world missing out. There's no one who didn't have kids because they are unmotivated or lazy; and hell, if they are then maybe they shouldn't have kids.
