Is it normal? babies. proud parents. don't like 'em.

Seriously people DO need to stop contributing to the overpopulation of the planet when so many kids need to be adopted, its selfish. Everybody says they "want to spread their genes". Well I'm sure half of you have a brother or a sister with the same parents as you, and THEY have kids, so there ya go there's your genes now stop being so selfish and stop saying "my children are worth it" as an excuse to crap on society every chance you get (like on the airplane when the 2 year old behind me is kicking my seat)

the planet IS overpopulated but not only that, this country is so full of stupid morons having even more stupid kids, that it would be an act of cruelty to send a normal child to school with the scum there is out there. 1/5 households in the UK lives solely on benefits and the kids (generalising a bit here but what the hell) turn out to be nasty, rude, horrid little chavs. I wouldnt want my prospective kids going to school with these little bastards, so its best to just not bother. plenty of kids on this planet who need love - adoption is the way forward if i ever want kids. and if i do ever want them, it will probably be too late - ill be old and baron by the time i feel ready.

No problem with your view. The earth is over populated anyway (6 billion +). People should stop using the rythem method, get adequate birth control and stop squeezing out those THINGS.

I agree 100% with the OP. Granted I'm sure one day I will want a child with my man, but no time soon. I'm in no rush because honestly I don't really care if I have children. If i have a kid its because i will want to create a bundle of love that will have my mans genes and will be a part of him. I grew up hating them, I don't understand the big deal over people having children. I never want to hold anyones kid, and it's aggravating seeing a crapload of baby pics on facebook. And yeah a lot of my friends are getting pregnant as well -_- I find a pregnant woman disgusting. Because nowadays women are having children when they arent even ready financially or mentally for children. It's disgusting.

I love your comment! Good on you for sticking to your guns. I honestly feel your pain and understand your love of freedom.

Agreed 100%

I used to want to have kids, but now I have no idea why. They just don't appeal to me. I've had the same issues with people trying to hand me babies... I do NOT want to hold them!

And society goes far too overboard with the OMG babies mentality.

I understand, we need to repopulate to survive as a species; but it is unfair to treat women like they are useless unless they are popping out babies.

Green umbilical cord? Gross.

i like the way you think hahahahah

Everyone is entitled to their opinions. I'm just wondering if it's your birthday because you start out by saying, "That said, I'm posting this because, now that I'm 24, several of my friends ..." and then You say , "I'm 25 and I like them less than ever." So which one is it? Can't even keep your age straight,yes you're right don't have kids. Ok happy bday Muahaha

^ stole my line haha. Seriously though it's a little ignorant to thing that just because you don't think babies are beautiful that other people cannot. One looks at a work of art and sees beauty while the other see a regurgitated dog turd.

Big deal about BABIES!It just proves you know how to FUCK,and so who cares.

ugh. i feel exactly the same way. my aunt just had ANOTHER baby when she has 3 others. give me a baby snake? i'll love it. give me a baby homo sapien? get away from me before i decide to throw something at you.

It is annoying when people act like it is so special they had a baby. There's over 6 billion humans on the planet, there is absolutely nothing special about giving birth.

I agree on all points. There are places for people who can't control their urges... it's called prison. Parents fawn over their children and find them amazing not because babies are amazing but because of Oxytocin. Without Oxytocin most humans would probably kill their children before year one. Then again Oxytocin is the same reason I tollerate my husband leaving his socks on the floor. However, in no way does that mean that I will willingly welcome more messy 'loved ones' into my life.

Overpopulation is a serious issue. China's one child policy- brilliant. Them enforcing it, while that most people found it horrific I say more power to them.

Don't get me wrong, for all of you out there with children... while I don't share your opinion I respect it... now please respect everyone elses. Stop saying "You'll change your mind eventually", "You'll want kids one day", and otherwise trying to change the minds of people who are blissfully child free. It's just as offensive to us for you to say "You'll want kids one day" as it is for me to say "You'll regret having kids one day"... which you probably will but that's besides the point.

Also, please stop refering to babies as 'miracles'. By definition miracles don't happen every day. Any dog in the street can procreate. For christ's sake even bacteria breed. Those of us who have no desire to be host to a parasite are not damaged, broken, misguided or abnormal.

Those of you who have chosen to be parents (or the condom broke) more power to you. If you adopted then even more power to you... whatever floats your boat. Some of us though, just don't care for kids that much and there's nothing wrong with that... so stop trying to get us to like yours.

yeah i used to be like you when i was younger but i changed my mind when i met the right person.
