“Childfree, right… you’ll get bored eventually of doing whatever you want. Then you’ll want some meaning in your life.”

So I’ll open my home and my heart to more rescue animals.
Or I’ll travel. I’ll learn another language. I’ll start a business or I’ll give my free time to a charity who are doing some good.
I’ll open the adult education catalogue from the local college, throw it in the air and sign up for whatever page it lands on.
What I won’t do is treat the creation of an actual human life as some kind of pastime.
Children shouldn’t be brought into being to occupy someone else’s time. They’re not an amusement. They’re people. They’re not yours to summon into the world because you’re stumped for ideas to make your life have some meaning.
Try volunteering before you try reproducing.
