[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 664086, member: 1550"] I think nature trumps nurture and have never had one regret that I did not keep reproducing and I feel it was a good thing that I did not. It had nothing to do with weakness or strength. It had to do with the fact that my FOO was mean. I do believe meanness and lack of empathy are inherited mostly and not because of our environment. So many kind parents have kids with no empathy at all...often their birthfather is no longer in the picture and he was mean and never even raised the child, but the child is also lacking in empathy and mean. I didn't want to risk mean. Also, although I loved my family when I was young, I did not like them particulary and wondered how I'd feel about a kid who reminded me of, say, my mother!! I did not need to breed to have a good size family and I'm glad I only did it once. [/QUOTE]
