    What a horrible thing to say about your child. I'm sure the child was aware of those hateful feelings. How could it have been loving towards a heartless soul such as yourself? This is probably the worst thing I've ever heard someone admit.

    Married 40 years. Never had 'em, never wanted them.
    At 63 and 61 respectively, my wife and I are beyond joyful at never having had children.
    The rewards of childlessness have seemed to increase over the years, and I suspect, after many years of observation, that most men become fathers because they want to prove to the adults around them that they really, really are grown up. Very sad.
