Well sh!t. If going to school at a Top 20 MBA in a month is holding back, I really need to re-access myself.



If working full time at a pharmaceutical company and being the #1 sales rep in the country out of 517 people is holding back, I should get my head re-adjusted.



If traveling to Austria, France, and Mexico in the past 12 months is holding myself back, I really need to get a life.



The list goes on and on and on and on....

Sakasuka all these things you mention sound like ME, ME, ME......I begining to wonder even if u did not have CF, that u still would not want children. And that is okay, children are not for everyone. But what you are doing with your life, Trust me, is no different or maybe even more stressful than raising a child. Guess it really boils down to what one wants from their life, and it looks like when you die you want to be remembered for your accomplishments in degrees and professional recongnintion. If I was not in good health and realisticly knew I only had about 5 years to live, then no I would not have a child, but some one in your condition should not be stop themselves from experiencing a child and diligently staying on top of their health, so they can prevent an early death. If you live to 50 or 60, I hope you don't look back and think, what if?

My professional life doesn't negatively affect an innocent child who relies on me for affection, bonding, guidance, etc.

You analogy about career compared to kids doesn't hold water.


<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote> Guess it really boils down to what one wants from their life </end quote></div>


Call my crazy, but I don't think about what I want to be remembered for. I don't do things and think "gee, how will this affect how I'm remembered."

That's a bit creepy, if you ask me....

I am going to school because I want to improve myself, not because I want to be remembered as a grad student.

I work hard at my job because I enjoy what I do, and I don't do anything in my life unless I give it my all. The results come from that

And I don't travel so that people, after I'm dead, say "gee, she traveled a lot." I do it because I enjoy seeing the world.

Amy, I'm responding because quite franky I'm frustrated and disgusted with how you are allowed to treat other's on this website. It's one thing to say, "having children isn't for me and here is why it isn't MY cup of tea" and what you inadvertently do in most of your posts- blatantly disrespect and put down other people.


</end quote></div>

And then you go on to say everything we do in life is selfish.

So which is it? you say I'm puting others down by calling them selfish. Then you say everything we do is selfish.

Get your story straight Juile. Or are you puting other people down by saying everything we do is selfish?

At least do me the favor of making sense if you're going to debate me on this on....

<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>

If you really think about it, everything we do in life is shelfish, everything has a selfish motive of some sort behind it. </end quote></div>

But many only act out on our selfish desires as long as they don't negatively affect innocent life who depends on us for their entire existence, growth and comfort.

Therein lies the difference.

Nothing else in life comes close to comparing to negatively affecting a child.


<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote> Furthermore, the reality of life is that at some point ALL of us are going to die. NOTHING in life is guaranteed. </end quote></div>

This is such a cop-out. Ya, Julie nothing is guarenteed. That's very profound of you to say.

But getting cancer, as some people say, is something you don't know will come. Having CF and knowing what it can bring is knowledge that you are armed with right now. You can't see the difference?


<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>Please consider and respect others, it's really starting to get out of hand.</end quote></div>


Well Julie, I don't think you're being respectful of my opinion. I think it's time that you start respecting <b> my opinion </b>. Really, it's getting out of hand.

Exactly, you could not have children and professional life at the same time. So you've chosen a professional life, which is fine. If you don' t want to be remembered for what u do, why do u feel the need to brag on yourself for being the "#1" salesperson? Sounds like you are looking for everyone to be really impressed by your gloating. Finally, traveling is not by no means, especially overseas, is easy on anyone's health. You risk contaminating yourself on a plane and if your health declines while over there, you know you would not recieve the same expert care you would here in the states.

I work hard at my job because I enjoy what I do, and I don't do anything in my life unless I give it my all. The results come from that

And I don't travel so that people, after I'm dead, say "gee, she traveled a lot." I do it because I enjoy seeing the world.</end quote></div>


Exactly, you could not have children and professional life at the same time. So you've chosen a professional life, which is fine. If you don' t want to be remembered for what u do, why do u feel the need to brag on yourself for being the "#1" salesperson? Sounds like you are looking for everyone to be really impressed by your gloating. Finally, traveling is not by no means, especially overseas, is easy on anyone's health. You risk contaminating yourself on a plane and if your health declines while over there, you know you would not recieve the same expert care you would here in the states.
