“I can’t keep plants alive”
I’ve heard that “argument” for not having kids a few times. I have to ask, is that a true worry or is that one of the random “excuses” people feel they are forced to come up with when they don’t want kids (by the way, the only valid excuse should be “because I don’t want…
