What about people that choose to turn their "parental instinct" to have and nurture children towards helping their society as a whole instead? Is that also a sign of immaturity for lack of "progeny"?
- nir 18y agoI don't think people who choose not to have kids are immature, it's a legitimate choice. I just mention it as a measure of certain changes. Nothing necessarily bad or good about it.
- wensing 18y agoWithout downplaying anything done for society as a whole, I must say that it's unlikely you'll ever be as influential upon society as a whole as can be upon your own children. Also, children also have a way of exposing your weaknesses that is unique to their relationship with (and reflection of) you. Granted, these are just vehicles to maturity, not a promise of success. Everyone fails in some measure, some horribly.
- sharkfish 18y ago"exposing your weaknesses" Yeah. They bring out the ASS in some parents.
