I never want kids. I have never wanted kids. I get told I am missing out, my life isn't complete and I'll change my mind. So why is there a pressure to have kids? Is it normal to not want them ever?
Having children is a very personal choice. I know some people who never had children and they seem quite content with their lives. I really want to have children.
I guess there's pressure, because misery loves company... but seriously, whenever someone pressures me to do anything I just feel turned off, and compelled to do the opposite.
Thanks, I figured the people who are happily married with kids probably don't try to push it on other people. Whenever someone tries to push anything on me it's such a codependent turn off, it's suspicious and feels like they're trying to sell me something.
I have many reasons for not wanting kids of my own even though I like kids. You're normal.
I absolutely despise children and I view the people who do want them as abnormal. I can't see why anyone would logically want to raise a wailing, shitting, vomiting sac of flesh, outside of biological urges that is.
It's not normal but who cares?
Not everyone should have them and a lot who do are crappy parents. You aren't missing anything. Those people telling you that stuff are condescending assholes and you should kick them out of your social circle. Only you know what's best for you. Parenthood is a hard, tedious, and thankless responsibility. People just sugar-coat it because no sane person would do it other wise.
The only way I would become a parent is if I succeed in adopting a child in the future. Otherwise, no. I'm not interested.
I NEVER EVER EVER want to have children. I desperately wish I could get my tubes tied right now so I would never have a kid. There are a multitude of reasons I do not want to experience pregnancy and have a child, but I won't go into that here.
It's your choice , just don't project your perspective onto others who want kids .
I plan on adopting a 15 year old when Im like 50. Im just going to let him smoke weed in the house buy him some beer so he can get all the pussy he wants. I'll be dad of the year for three years then his ass better find a job or he'll be on the streets.
It is absolutely NOT normal. Neither is it wrong or bad, it's just not normal.
I wish there were a lot more folks like you, because so many pop out these little monsters which they seem unable to control. I hate those parents who allow the little shits run rampant in nice restaurants, for instance, turning a romantic dinner into a hellish experience. Whatever happened to, "children should be seen and not heard"?
At least in the US, the quest for the almighty dollar and the need for a bigger, better and fancier house/car/phone, etc. has demolished the family unit and turned the role of child rearing over to the state, creating the most insufferable generation yet, with an unearned sense of entitlement to boot.
So yeah, it may not be the norm, but I think you are definitely doing a good thing.
You must be young.
Apparently, a lot of people start out like that, and then they turn 180 and urgently want kids, sobbing vehemently when they find out they're infertile.
