“No. I have chosen not to have children and I’m not a selfish person. Having children is a commitment until you die. If you bring children into this world, no matter what you do to protect them, they will still get hurt. Also, if you were to die then it is up to someone else to look after your children.”
CHRISTIEN DE BUCK
From Belgium
“No. I have chosen not to have children and I’m not a selfish person. Having children is a commitment until you die. If you bring children into this world, no matter what you do to protect them, they will still get hurt. Also, if you were to die then it is up to someone else to look after your children.”
LAURA HERNANDEZ
from Spain
“No, with the economic crisis at the moment it is difficult to think about having children. When you have kids you have to think about lots of things. You have to spend a lot of money because they need food, clothes and shelter. It is selfish to have children if you
cannot afford it.”
PAUL DUNNE
from Ireland
“Of course not. If a couple decides not to have kids it’s their own prerogative. You don’t know the circumstances that lead to them making that decision; they may not be in a good situation for having children. Too many people have too much to say about others when it’s none of their business.”
COLLINS UNEGBE
from South Africa
“It’s good to have children. If a couple don’t, maybe it’s because of stress or something wrong between them. I think if people choose not to because of expenses, maybe they could have one or two instead of lots. If your mother made such a decision then you wouldn’t be in this world.”
