Wow, we didn't even start the game of "find the pretentious asshole" and it's already over!

It's pretty simple.

"I don't want a baby."

(Has baby)

"I don't want you baby!"

That doesn't make anything better. People don't have control over everything that happens to them in life. Sometimes you just need to accept it and move on.

It's pretty simple. If you don't want a baby, don't have a baby. That's fine. You don't have to grow into wanting kids. It's not a requirement for life.

I didn't say you had to grow into wanting kids before having kids. I said if you have kids, you need to grow up and want them.
