Another thing to think about is do you think you are doing your kids a favour by giving birth to them? What is there to be grateful for anyways, looking at the world the way it is now. Work like a  slave to the system to make a living. Let us reflect on our own lives. Do we want our kids to go through the same rat race? I see mostly a cruel world out here. And it will only get worse methinks. Nepal is gone case. The world itself is not getting any better. Most people struggle all their life. Parents staying in old folks home. Husband and Wife taking turns to look after baby and working different shifts. So what is the use? i know that the 2-3 kids that i would have given birth to will be thanking me for not giving birth to them. Mother earth will be happy with me. I am not being pessimistic here but this is the sad reality of this world now. It is getting too materialistic. Imagine India and Nepal where majority are poor and land selling for 1-2 crore. What is there to celebrate except for the rich?.
