What\'s with the no kids guilt trip?
One thing i've known about myself for a very long time is that i don't want kids. I'm still pretty young, so i'm willing to admit its in the realm of possibility that when i get older it "could" change, but its safe to say i wouldn't bet on it.
The only reason i say it could change is because i've come to understand over time anyone is willing to change their mind about most anything, but when it comes to what i want from my life I DON'T WANT KIDS. I don't even particularly like them. I respect that many people who say they became a parent was the best decision they ever made etc etc, and really, great for you, i'm happy you're happy. However, whenever this somehow comes up in conversation and you tell people "no, i don't intend on ever being a father, its just not something want" most people look at you like told them your a murderer. Certainly you must be the most selfish person in the world to not want kids! But it's my choice no? What's with the massive guilt trip here?

They just want to share the hell that children are with other people. Don't worry about it, you'll have plenty of time while working holidays for the breaders to think of a better line.

Re: What\'s with the no kids guilt trip?
As a single guy I'm not at all surprised that you would say no kids, but usually the wife wants them bad enough that the husband gives in. Or the wife just "fixes" the birth control. I find it odd when a married couple say that they won't ever have kids. I dunno, I don't see the point in getting married if you're not going to have kids.
