I decided not to have children.

-- Richard Stallman

What do I care? I decided not to own a goldfish. I'm not writing about it.

I would not be able cope with a frequently crying baby without becoming upset and angry.

The man has issues. I recommend a full psychiatric write up.

Most fathers in the US have to work very hard to get money for their children. I did not want a life of running on a treadmill, doing whatever people with money would tell me to do.

Sounds self-centered and lazy to me. I guess responsibility is not a word he thinks about often. The path of least resistance for this guy is avoiding it all together.

A large fraction of US fathers eventually get divorced, and subsequently rarely see the children for whom they are spending most of their time scrabbling for money. What a futile life! But even those who are not yet divorced see their children little, since they are so busy at work.

I read this as, "I'm not getting any play." He will get divorced and having kids is nothing but trials and tribulations. Looks to be the one best excuse as to not having a viable relationship or taking on responsibility other than himself. I have a co-worker like this. Only cares about himself and satisfaction.

I would say this was a worthwhile read but I would be lying.
