Is There Anyone Who DOESN'T Want To Have Kids?

Post Reply New Topic

Thanks for the support guys, I agree with all of you. If I do decide to have kids, I'm definitely adopting. I don't understand why people keep having more kids when there are already so many out there that need help and will probably never get a real chance at a happy life.

I don't want kids.

I only admitted that to myself about a year ago. I convinced myself for years that I wanted kids, because that's what normal girls want. I even started saying I wanted babies because other girls did. It was all contrived, though. I never really could force myself to want kids.

I have never wanted kids and already knew this by your age as there are too many people on this planet already. Thankfully I have a husband who feels the same way, and I have never once regretted my decision to stay child-free. This way *I* get to play each day, rather than watch some ungrateful snot-gobbler.

I'm not sure if I want kids.

Having kids would be beyond my WORST dreams. End of story.

Even though I'm only 15, I don't plan on having kids. Not even have sex. (ugh... the thought of it is too nasty... )
And I have my reasons.

1. I don't want to spend thousands of dollars on healthcare, education, food, clothing, toys, etc.
2. Kids tend to vomit a lot (and without warning sometimes), and I faint at the sight of someone vomiting. (I'm serious here, and I have fainted before)
3. kids can just be big fat pests. Ugh.
4. I don't want to have to cater to their every whim, or have to lose sleep caring for a baby.
5. I don't want to be puking every morning for 9 months, being kicked, or have to go pee all the time, let alone giving birth. I heard that it's hell to push a baby out.

Those are my top 5 reasons why I don't plan on having kids when I'm older. And I do agree, that "Oh, you'll change your mind" B.S. ticks me off too.
I mean, I do plan to get married when I'm older, but not have kids.

if there was 1 good, logical reason to have kids I'd be the first to have them.

I don't know how mothers tolerate kids for more than 2 minutes.

My nephew, bless him, is a sweet kid, but last time I saw him I ended up leaving the room to stuff cotton wool in my ears.

(Not sure if men are allowed to post in this forum or not...)

I don't want kids. If my (hypothetical) wife absolutely insisted, I might consider it. Might.

I never want kids and always get weird looks when I tell people that. I'll make a sarcastic comment when an "adorable" kid runs past (I think kids are f*****g annoying). Once they and their parents are out of earshot, I'll say to the person I'm with

"Awwww! How sweet! I'm getting my tubes tied tomorrow!"

The people I come across are just under the impression that all women want kids and they give me this look like "What's wrong with you?"

[quote="Marsian"]Yeah, it annoys me if I tell people I'm asexual they say I'll change my mind! Like, I've always been asexual so how the hell am I supposed to procreate anyway.

Wow. That's really offensive. That's like if you were a lesbian and people told you "Oh, you'll grow out of it."

Uh... okay. People need to understand that people are the way they are and that's it.

I've also gotten the whole "Well you're young. When you're about 30, you'll really want kids."

And I know I won't. Like I said, kids annoy me. I also find pregnancy to be really unsettling. I mean, something is growing inside of you. It's using you. That's a parasite. I've seen women's bodies before/during/after pregnancy and I can't conceptualize how people call pregnancy a beautiful thing. They ruined their bodies, and for what? Some screaming, pissing, sh*****g pain in the ass?

Well when I was younger I was most open about it. Didn't have a huge prediliction either way. Just sorta chucked it up to "well need a man first. It'll just go along with whatever the "poor guy who gets stuck with me" wants.

Now that I'm older (27) an in a relationship with a 24 year old man who wants kids, but not till after 30. (I'll be 33 by then). The idea sounds horrible. Frankly if I was gunna have them, I'd wat to have them 5 years ago. You should be in teh home stretch by 40, not only half way through!

The idea of pregnancy after 30 just is totally unappealing. At this pt I'm trying to steer him toward adoption of slightly oldder children. (I was half-adopted, so adoption actually appeals to me. )

I love being a mom. I aways wanted to have kids but if you don't feel that way you shouldn't. It's sad to see kids that the moms and dads didn't want and don't spend anytime with. I think it's amazingly self aware to know what you do and don't want from life and you should stick to your guns and do whats best for you. Oh adoption from foster care in the US is fairly cheep and you even recevice money for doing so in alot of states if you take a child with special needs or a older child and that might be the best for someone who isn't crazy about babys but would still like to have a child.
