As a child services worker I have seen the result of unwanted, under parented children up close. Those who know they don't want kids are doing themselves and society a favour by opting out.

For me, parenting has been one of the great joys of my life. Were I wealthier I would have had more kids.

Just don't ask me to water or trim a plant. I'm going to write a book on my conscientious choice to be plant free.
