Perhaps those people who called you that are the real selfish bitches here.

Yes, because refusing to put kids in a position that is detrimental to their mental, emotional, and physical health is such a selfish thing. Or refusing to add more kids to the already overpopulated planetary population. You aren't selfish, and they're idiots.

"Hey you are unable to provide for kids, really selfish." Great logic there. I wish more people would be responsible enough to know they are unfit to be parents.

Yep, nothing could be more selfish than not building more of yourself. On an unrelated note, would anybody be willing to help me replace the fuse in my irony detector?

You know your limits and abilities Disregard those that no not of what they speak of

The fact that you know that of yourself shows more maturity and self-awareness than any of those people will ever know. Don't let the haters get you down.

I'm with you, OP. I would not be able to support a child in any way and have chosen to refrain from having them myself. You know yourself better than they do and if you feel it's the right choice then you're making the right decision for yourself. Your health is more important than someone else's awful opinion. :)

I'm right there with you OP. When the time is right the time is right. To hell with anyone who says otherwise. Do you!

Wow, must be an only child to get that level of insult. Sorry OP, doing what's best for you while also being considerate of your unborn children is all we could hope tp ask for.

I feel the same way although I've never been called a selfish bitch yet but people look at me weird when I tell them I don't want kids.
