It seems like every time the topic of having kids comes up, im the only one who doesn't want to have any. When I tell people this, they usually have a strong reaction to my decision. They act like what I just said was an awful thing, and they're like "well why not?" What do you guys think? Is it really wrong for someone to not want to have babies?
Edit: Im amazed at how overwhelmingly supportive everyone is (although there have been a few trolls). Keep giving your opinions about this topic (favorable or unfavorable) because I think it's a relevant cultural issue that isn't discussed very often. Thanks everyone.

No, its your choice.

Kids aren't for everyone. There are enough people having kids they can't/won't take care of as it is.

15 RespuestasYou are terrible.

3 RespuestasNot wanting to have kids is infinitesimally better than wanting kids and abusing them. So no, not really.
-
There's already so many people, not everyone needs to have kids

3 Respuestas[i]Why[/i] don't you want kids? I'm not asking coz I want to know (nothing personal, I just don't care), but I think it's important for [i][u]you[/u][/i] to know. I'm nearly 50, I made a conscious decision to not have kids very early on. I could go into my reasons, but again, no offense, it's no one else's business. My wife also was of the same mindset (though she was a little more torn), but we lived together for seven years before marriage so we both knew. There are some very serious ramifications to your decision that you need to be aware of, primarily end of life decisions. Unless you have siblings that you're close with, and those siblings have children whom you're close with, you need to be prepared to have no support network. There will come a time when you are completely alone. This can be both terrifying and liberating.

2 RespuestasNo. Not everyone is meant to have kids. But people get their knickers in a twist thinking everyone has to want to have kids someday.

1 RespuestaNope,You don't want them, you don't them. It's ok I don't really have a preference,When I'm asked I tell people, I have no plans for Children at all unless I met a woman who changes my mind because she's just that amazing or whatever, other than that nope nope.
-
1 RespuestaUgh Children are so much work. Do not want.
-
2 RespuestasYou could always adopt or find a girl that already has a kid unless you don't want kinds in general
-
1 RespuestaNope. They're rewarding little shits, but they're not for everybody.

4 RespuestasOf course there's nothing wrong with not wanting children. Although, when you meet the right girl, she [i]might[/i] just change your mind...

3 RespuestasEditado por DarkMatter: 1/29/2015 1:20:51 PMI dont have any and dont want any. I hate kids, yes i know i was one. I hate school buses. And i really hate parents who dont teach there spawn respect, manners, and common courtesy. Bunch of rude ass lil jits running rampant is what we have out there. I would like to add some more as there are some good points in here. I dont think i would hate every kid. I am sure there are plenty out there who were raised right by good parents. Its the jits raised by idiots who create more disrespectful idiots. My feelings on this come from working face to face customer service. So i have encountered my fair share of degenerates old and young. And no you are not.

no, there's a time and a place for having kids and if you don't want kids then that's your decision
-
1 RespuestaI don't want kids ether and its not because I think its gonna ruin my life its the kids life I don't want to ruin
-
That is a bad thing And you should feel bad Because you are bad [spoiler]trolling 101[/spoiler]
-
If you don't choose to have kids youl probably accidentally choose to have them then
-
No not really. In fact I strongly believe that there are quite a few people in this world that shouldn't have babies.
-
1 RespuestaThere's nothing wrong with it, IMO. I don't want any, either.
-
I also find them annoying and loud. But I'm not saying I don't want to have kids ever. I don't want to have kids yet. I will only have kids if I finally met the man I can be with for the rest of my life. Marriage before kids that is. (っ◕‿◕)っ

1 RespuestaEditado por The Fallen Zyzz: 1/29/2015 9:30:03 AMI don't particularly want to have kids. If I meet the right sort of gal, I'll happily have kids with her if she really wants to have kids. Not too many, though. 2-3 is my limit. Not wanting to have kids doesn't make you a bad person.
-
S'all good, if you don't want em, that's fine. I'm guessing the people who get defensive about it might be lumping you in with the category of people that actively dislike children. [i]Those[/i] people are annoying, usually due to them being about as mature as children themselves. Not wanting kids isn't bad, it's just a preference. Hating them for no good reason or wishing harm on them would be a different matter, but you don't sound like that kind of person.
-
1 Respuestano, it just means that you would like to keep your eardrums, your Patience, and your money.
-
If you never want to have kids that's your decision. And no your not a bad person for not wanting any kids
-
No this is your choice.
