I started out assuming they had kids, but I did catch myself: > Ah. I've left out the obvious option: You don't have kids, and don't plan to? Yes, that's their business. My problem isn't with their personal decision per-se. It's that today's myths ("the glorious and independent startup founder") encourage people to make sacrifices that they may not think about until it's too late. I think most people who chase the startup dream will regret it. I also think that there are other people, not founders on average, who benefit from these myths. So they should be treated with suspicion.
