Wow that Time article is pretty offensive/condescending. If no one really know what will make us happy in the future, then it should go both ways. That is, that people who think they don’t want kids might be pleasantly surprised AND people who think kids will make them happy might be UNpleasantly surprised. Also presumes that there is a “right guy” (gag).
“Before making irreversible decisions, we should try to remember that.” <– no more irreversible decision than bringing a child into this world.
How about letting everyone make their own life choices and just accepting the consequences of them, whatever they may be? And also not applying your personal situation to everyone?

+1 million. I didn’t get past the ridiculous title. I am surprised and disappointed that Kat would link to an article like this. I guess even a r3tt3 can’t be happy without children. At the very least Kat should add a note that the title is really offensive. I can’t speak to the actual article because I refuse to read it.

The article is garbage but the book she is referencing in the opening paragraph is outstanding (it’s NOT about how to be happy but about what makes humans happy and it does not jump to the ridiculous conclusions of the article).

I read the article (yep that’s 4 mins of my life I won’t get back). Total clickbait garbage. I am so sick of the child versus childfree mudslinging, and personally, especially the overwhelming criticism of the childfree. Why can’t women just do whatever’s best for their particular life situation without being judged by everyone in the universe?
I Went to Campbell Law School
Just wanted to say that I thought Campbell was a great law school. It has a fantastic reputation in NC because it has such a high bar pass rate and they focus on practical teaching. They want everyone to be able to do trial work from day one which was helpful after I graduated even though I didn’t like my trial ad courses at the time. But I moved out of state and almost no one had heard of Campbell but I thought I got a great education there.

Clueless is a great fashion movie. In fact when I took Social Psychology of Dress in college it was one of three we could choose from to do a costume analysis. The costumes are so thoughtfully put together that they work as a shortcut to understanding the characters. Fantastically done.
