Dear Firecracker Mandy (creator of the Childfreedom blog):

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for writing this definitive, thought-out, well-put post that I’d like to photocopy and hand to the next person who suggests that having a child equals selflessness (and conversely, that not having kids equals selfishness).

Amen to you.

Sincerely,

Your Constant Reader.
