Is it normal to not want kids?

I really don’t want kids. i have no desire for them and never really have. i’m 21 and female and i just don’t think being pregnant or having a family is for me. i’d rather be able to go wherever i want, when ever i want. spend my money on travelling and a nice car. focus on my career, etc. and being pregnant looks awful!! ugh. i can’t stand the sound of a child screaming or crying either. i honestly think i’d be a bad mother because i wouldn’t have the patience. i can barely picture myself ever getting married. people keep telling me i’ll change my mind but i’m 99.9% sure i won’t. i’m almost considering getting a hysterectomy because i have bad periods and what tf do i need it for? so? IIN??!

    Of course it's normal. It is your life, live it the way you choose.

    The only people wholl tell you that kids are worthwhile are idiots too dumb to pull out properly, who now have kids, and can't admit that it's a life-ruining experience to anyone with a real life. They get all self righteous that they drive drooling worthless children around to soccer and stupid pizza events that nobody even wants them at anyway. Every child is in essence a failed abortion, and we could save this damn planet for crack smokers of the future if everyone just stopped reproducing.

  • Many women feel the way you do, at least regarding having kids. And there are a lot of cons and dangers in having children, so yeah. I would advise you not to have something likely permanent though because you are still young and might change your mind. I'll just say that many women have regretted it.

    The world today is so f'ed up. Global warming means there will be food shortages in first world countries during your child's life (if you had one now). The world is also becoming completely amoral (that means the majority of people don't have a moral compass one way or another). If you speak out against sexual depravity these days, it's called hate speech. We are supposed to accept homosexuality, bestiality (which just became legal in Canada, so people were fighting for the right to have sex with animals), pedophilia-(NAMBLA- national Association for Man/boy love) is invited to march in gay pride parades.
    This world is going to shit and it's so far gone (esp. with the environment) that there is no fixing things.
    I had a child in 1991 (I was 15 and didn't know what I was doing), and I feel bad for bringing another person into this overpopulated planet that is teetering on the brink of worldwide starvation.

    Normal - it's your life, no one else can tell you how to live it.

    I will advise, if you really want to get surgery (and it will be difficult at your age to find a doctor willing to do it) don't get a hysterectomy, get your tubes tied. Hysterectomies come with other medical risks and at such a young age you would either be stuck in an early menopause or have to take hormones to keep your body regulated for much of your adult life, along with other complications that can crop up.

    A hysterectomy is only advisable if it's in relation to other health problems, otherwise better to get the little snip snip and leave your organs in place.

    I'm 21 too and don't ever want little monsters sucking away my life, income and general will to live. You may not be "normal" to some people but your logic makes sense and your choices are valid.

    There is no reason to breed tiny monsters. They eat your food, piss their pants, consume your income, and kick holes in the wall playing gladiators. They also wipe their snot on your pants leg. Mindless child savages are the hardest animals to domesticate.
