Mr. Doctor:
Hehehehe it's not like Jeph has an option... His characters are alive and do whatever they want wohoooooooooooo  :-D

Carl-E:
One of my three brothers and his wife made the decision that they wouldn't add to the worlds population.  He put his money where his reproductive organs are and had a vasectomy. 

One of my other brothers had two boys.  His wife's catholic, they wanted more, but both boys were autistic to different degrees, and so they decided against more. 

My wife and I wanted a large family as well.  After two extraordinarily harrowing caesarians to have our two daughters, we decided not to abuse her body any further. 

....and my youngest brother's over 40 and has never had a serious relationship (except with a bass).  I literally have no idea if he even gives family a thought.  Ever. 

Bluesummers:
Awww, and here I wanted to see a pregnancy arc...not. I have nothing against pregnancy, I just think it will open up too many cans of worms, or Jeph will use the "Hand of the Wrathful God-Writer" and kill the child before birth, one way or another. I'd rather not go down that path.

I'm pretty sure you have that backwards.

Sauron was a servant of Morgoth...it didn't stop him from doing whatever the hell he wanted, including terrorizing Middle Earth, trying to turn all the elves into orcs, starting up a gluten-free bakery to raise awareness of his condition, and creating the One Ring.

Nice to meet you, you just met one. I honestly do not understand the desire to have kids at all. It is such an alien concept to me, that I literally can not wrap my head around it. I suppose it is good for the species that those people exist, but I don't get it it. Kids are awful, messy, and loud. It takes every ounce of energy just to keep them from dying the first few years and it just gets worse after that. And every video of a birth I have ever seen makes me say "Hell no am I letting my vag get ripped open by an a screaming bloody alien-looking thing like that."

I would never wish ill on a child, I was one myself once upon a time and I know the damage a shitty life can wreck, but neither do I want one anywhere near me. I babysat a niece once, and that was enough for me.


Then again,  I don't even want the responsibility of owning a pet.

Barmymoo:
I think a lot of people who say "I don't want to have children" base that on seeing the awful children other people raise. If you can identify the behaviour you don't like (screaming, making a mess, being generally unpleasant) then you can deal with it when they're your own. Most bad kids are just the product of bad parenting.

That said, I don't think everyone should want to have kids and certainly not everyone should have them. It's a big commitment! And it requires specific skills and character qualities. I know I'd make a good mother. I know I'd make a shitty surgeon. It's the same type of decision.
