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.

Agreed. Even worse is the idea that if i actually tried hard for 18 years and he/she turned out a huge douche anyway, that'd just crush me.

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?

Try being a GIRL and saying that you don't want kids. Especially a girl whose room looks like this:



My excuse is always that I have worked at a daycare before - I love little kids but I already know what a handful they can be.

The real reason is that I'm selfish and don't want to be tied down to little people - I like the idea of being able to travel whenever I want and not really have any obligations. I think this can still be fulfilling if one spends one's time volunteering and doing charitable works - you can make the world a better place without producing someone else to do it for you.
