Becoming a parent is one of the most monumental, life-changing events. It's also not for everyone. Which side of this fence are you on?


As with other extremely personal decisions, there's obviously no right or wrong answer here. Some people know with certainty that they want to have kids; others just as strongly know it's not for them. What are your strongest reasons for or against? Maybe it could help those who are still contemplating which path to take.


What We're Looking For

Yep, it's another flame war, fellow life hackers. Slip into your fireproof gear, dive into the discussions below, and let us know what you think. Our hope is that when we sift through the ashes, we'll get a reasonable look at both sides of the argument. Just keep in mind that we're using the term "flame war" a little tongue-in-cheek: we'll actually be looking for the polite, well-reasoned, and well-articulated arguments to feature in our follow-up.
