These forums are why I don't want kids. I fear the monster they may become. Also, I just hate kids. They are the worst and I imagine them ruining my life forever. My wife is convinced I will come around to adoption, but I dunno.

Nobody wants you to reproduce, anyway.

Now what if your parents had thought when your dad was trying to convince your mom to swallow you, just because he forgot the condom that day 😚 Then again, if your kids pop out as selfish as you then we don't need them populating the planet anyways, and you don't need to reproduce that so get a vasectomy as soon as your done with puberty please. And here we thought the next Picasso or Einstein might come from YOUR bloodline....pffffft Oh and good luck dying alone in the old folks home because you have no kids and grandkids to be by your bedside to wash you in love and comfort before going to the other side. Miss out and that chance to look over your beautiful family and be like, I'm not Shit, my life wasn't Shit, but look at all I've accomplished. Smh

I'd give up any amount of money to have that choice, kids aren't for everyone, but I've always known I wanted kids.

Edited by Britton: 1/16/2016 2:20:56 AMOn paper it seems shitty, but the value a child can bring to your life is worth it

Not that bad.

Edited by tjustie: 1/15/2016 6:14:19 AMPretty much. I'll probably want kids at some point, but there's a lot of money I won't have if I do. It's just something I'll have to consider. The negative attitude some people have towards people who don't want kids cracks me up. Some people legitimately think not wanting kids makes you a bad or selfish person, and that's hilarious.

You wouldn't want to raise kids because of the costs? You wouldn't want to invest in the future generations? People that's what true selfishness looks like.

3 RepliesWho cares about the cost, it's more about the whole "making noise" and "existing" part of children that I can't stand.

You can thank leftist and their desire to intervene and regulate the economy, which increases the cost of living. Back in the 50's, only the husband worked and was able to provide for a family of on average 5 children. Today, even with both parents working, it's hard to sustain just two children. It's because we've been gradually transitioning into socialist monetary policy.

3 RepliesHonestly, money isn't the only thing in life. Would you rather die with a million dollars by your side, knowing you did nothing noteworthy, or would you rather die broke knowing you made people's lives better?

Gonna send my kids to private school. Git mad

For this sake ppl leave him alone just because he doesn't want kids cause of costs does not mean he's a selfish person. Kids are expensive and can have negative factors to both parents. Let alone the offspring is not raised correctly. Just because you're all born to reproduce does not mean you have to. To say a person will die alone is stupid as well. I could be in a relationship my whole life and we could both decide not to have kids at all. Does that mean we die alone or are we bad ppl? [spoiler]hate if you want but idc my opinion on things [/spoiler] [spoiler]and yes I myself would rather not continue my family tree it dies with me :-)[/spoiler]

Thought this was going to be about how shitty kids are nowadays. Which some could say yes it's the parents fault but you'd think the kids would have some common sense. Doesn't matter I guess why people won't have kids. It's good either way. Human race increases in population 300k a day on average. (Yes, that's counting deaths)) This planet is going to have to many of us pretty soon.
