Kids, Who Needs 'Em?
Conventional wisdom points to having a family. Controversial author of Childfree and Loving It, Nicki Defago, begs to differ, and tries to counter the arguments for having children.
In an over-populated world, it is more responsible not to have children - most of us will spend our dotage in a nursing home rather than with our offspring, and a life worrying about what the kids are up to is hardly satisfying, she argues. What's more, child-free people pay too much tax subsidising the badly behaved brats who run wild in public places and show their ingratitude by not giving up their seats on trains and buses.
Nicki then goes on a quest to find like-minded souls. But on the other side of the fence, mother-of-six Lynette Burrows tells her 'unless you are prepared to have children, there is no future for the country'
