I understand this - "Other people's children are my children." - since I have never had any of my own.I love my friends kids and yes children are a joy
I am not so sure that I would want to bring a child into this world...I recently told my sister we were lucky not to have children when I see the struggles especially with a government and toxic world hell bent on destroying them.
For-good-bad-or-whatever-else, that is the way I feel about it.
