Im 25 with a 1 year old and almost every person I talk to say that it’s selfish of me to say I don’t want to have anymore kids because they need to be around other children and it’s not fair to them to be alone. Honestly I could not really care because my pregnancy was shit and I never want to do that again also I’m...
