I originally clicked on “comment” to tell you how much I enjoyed reading your succint but positive review of the year…. but then I saw this sub-comment about not wanting kids and I had to chime in telling you never to get intimidated or uncomfortable knowing what you want… not that you are….

There is nothing wrong with not wanting to be a mother… especially since you are part mother to a couple of dozen kids for nine months out of the year… seems to me like you are fulfilling your moral obligation to help out the human race by what you do for a living… no need to add little souls to the planet if you don’t want them…

I wish I had a cooler or more reaffirming way of saying that I find the way you expressed this to be terrific…
