A child is a huge expense and a huge responsibility. I can understand those who, like you, do not want any.

But our fugli are our legacy, we pass on to them our knowledge, our tradition and they will be the ones to carry on our surname.

I have a daughter and if I had had the right partner, maybe I would have wanted at least another one, but unfortunately that's not how it went.

Now, even though my mother does everything to ruin her, I am trying to pass on to my daughter my values, my culture and my knowledge.

Now that my daughter is a teenager, many other problems have arisen, just look at this post I opened yesterday: #956433

But as she grows, school, friends and television (and, hopefully as late as possible, social media) increasingly shape her being. But I remain her father and I manage to involve her in my old passions, and I write these few lines to you after having been with them at an aquarium fair.

The mother of the child, on the other hand, makes a rather toxic speech. She claims that a child is necessary to take care of the parents when they are old, and that her only regret of not having had a second child is that the child will have to take care of her alone.

I am not criticizing your choice, but I can share my experience by saying that if I went back, maybe with another woman, I would have had two or three children (health and money permitting).
