I don't want kids because I find them to be incredibly annoying and often quite dumb. I don't want to waste 20 years of my life looking after something when I could be travelling and achieving great things in my career
If you have kids they could (even though its a very small chance) be the one to change the world. Or cure cancer, become the next president, stop global warming, or at least help delay it further....and also they just continue your legacy....imagine NOT being born...you would have never gotten to do the things youre doing right now.. i want to have kids so the
y can experience life, so they can feel what love feels like...life is an amazing thing and its crazy how some people wouldnt want to give someone else a chance to experience it.
But, fluffydinosaur, what if they want to put all their time attempting to cure cancer, cultivating their political career, or experiencing the gift of life they were given? I think that having children is a beautiful thing, but it's not the only or the most beautiful thing a person can amount to. Everyone has different priorities and different instincts, so let's just celebrate and eat cake!
i would venture that maybe you equate kids with happiness and so think the people without kids are unhappy and thus feel sadness, when things like that are deep inside its hard to ignore the evidence in front of your eyes of happy childless people
..i just want to be able to give someone the love and care i was never given...i want to show my mom how parenting is done...i want to be the oarent she never was
I am terribly sorry to break the news to you, but this is mostly how abusive relationships start. It's psychology. People always say "I'll be different than what I knew my entire life", but it never is. Insanity is, by definition, doing the same things over and over, expecting different results. It's what humanity has been doing since forever, and we call it "hope".
Husband and I are in our 30's and still no kids. I'm fine with that. I got my nieces and nephews, and take them to Disney all day long, then when they start crying, I send them home, then have a peaceful nights sleep. Ahhh
Why bring more children into the world when you can adopt a child whose starving, whose in poverty, or all alone somewhere in an orphanage? At least that's the way I see it
Children who have been part of the system and raised in an institution are far more likely to have serious problems compared to raising your own. It's nobody's fault, but the effects are strongest when the child spent the years 0-2 in institutional care. I'm not saying that you shouldn't adopt, just that it may be a good reason to bring more children into the world. (Because they're on average easier and healthier.)
Guest, that is the most naïve thing I've read all day. "Don't mature enough" my butt. Well /some people/ don't mature enough to go buy a condom and then they decide to keep the kid, marry and basically throw the rest of their life and potential away because of that one time they were too lazy to get protection. The fact that your reproductive system is working properly has absolutely nothing to do with responsibility. Or do teen parents seem like the most responsible people to you? If so, I might suggest you reassess your priorities.
I personally don't want kids, and I feel like it's the most responsible decision of my life. I think my abilities lie elsewhere and I'd be a terrible mother. I'd like my genetic material to be sent further, though, because I think it's good genetic material, so maybe I'll donate eggs in the future, for someone who is sure and ready to become a parent but can't.
I personally don't want my kid going through the same shit I've gone through. I don't want to bring anyone into this work where so many people will hate them. Knowing me and the type of person I'm going to marry, my kid will face the same things I went through which will suck ass.
I don't want that for them. Helping them through the situation doesn't make them go away. I'm a mess right now and even if I get better in the future I would never say, "oh yeah that wasn't too bad if I had to I would experience it again" No way. I don't want someone I care about to feel what I feel
I completely agree with jensensbooty (love that username btw). You see, the thing about humanity is, it is so full of hope so it sometimes gets so pathetic. For example if a kid's been abused, chances are 99.9% that they will abuse their kid as well. It's psychology. Everyone always thinks "But I will never be like that, this will never happen to me!" but the truth is, it will eventually (ad definition of insanity). And I know that about myself, I know that I'm sometimes as much of an asshole to people as my father (not really to people I don't know very well because I try to be as polite as possible, but sometimes I'm horrible to my mom and I regret it because I love her and everything she does for me) and that anyone who'd be with me would have to deal with me being a crazy bitch.
So I'm not going to be so stupidly naïve and tell myself that "I won't do the same, it will be different this time", because I know it won't. It is human nature to repeat mistakes. It's the sad true-true.
I know *I* do.
y can experience life, so they can feel what love feels like...life is an amazing thing and its crazy how some people wouldnt want to give someone else a chance to experience it.
people need to realise it's okay not to have kids. not everyone wants to deal with something running around like crazy 24/7
Wild sex without the fear of kids seeing you
