And they shouldn't be criticized if they don't want it, either.

And, I went on to say that. I have a family member who NEVER wanted children. She's been that way forever. She married a few years ago, and her husband wanted children (I think that's a dealbreaker, but they went ahead with it). So, she now has a beautiful 3 year old daughter that she does not want. It's sad. That's why if you do not want children, you should REALLY not have them.
That doesn't mean that I still understand why people don't want children. I believe that children are a joy (even after spending all day with other people's challenging children). Personally, I cannot understand anyone not wanting children because I think that's a part of our purpose (a belief that I am not willing to debate or explain). However, I realize that there are people who do not share my beliefs and they are free to make their own decisions. That doesn't mean I understand their reasons, but again, I don't have to.
