Is it normal to not want children?

I dont really see a need to procreate either, especially with 7 billion people on that planet as is...I just dont see the great satisfaction or motivation to do it, when someone gives me the impression they are "living" for their children I cant help but pity them a little since they are unable to live for themselves and cant enjoy life for their own satisfaction. Doesnt make sense to me. I also dont understand why some people go so crazy over a baby. Its just a little baby that has no idea whats going on at all?? Where does the need to pick them up and make silly noises to them come from? I never have the need to do that.

FUCK having CHILDREN.I have a hell of a lot better things to do with my money,like buying CIGARETTES and LOTTERY TICKETS,just to name a few.NEVER MIND having to feed or support some little BITCH or BASTARD,that's for damn sure.You're perfectly normal,FUCK what others think.

It's kind of ironic that this question has risen in the most popular posts today, right beneath "Would you punch a kid in the face?". Oh well, internet, what can you do.

Children suck dick.

I do not dislike children but I do not want to have any. I love how children can be molded by education and the joy on their faces finding something new in the world. ? I mostly hate the lifestyle of having children. I hate having to stay up late to console a child, except if they are sick. I do not want read the same book over and over at bedtime. I do want buy and have to watch children's movies. I hate high pitched screams and cries. I have hyperacusis and the sound is so painful. I hate to have to shop for school clothes. I hate drippy noses no matter how cute. I hate making disgusting meals to accommodate a childs' tastes. I hate having to plan discipline. I hate having someone watching me all the time.
Is this too selfish?

Yes it is normal. I don't want children and whenever I say that people they generally try to convince me it's so amazing. Children are over rated, expensive, and a life time of responsibility, I don't want that...EVER!

There is a small candle flicker of paternaty that I'll feel once in a great while but it can't get any stronger than that because of the pathetic genetics I inherited. I don't want to make the same mistake my male cousins on my mothers side of the family did. Mentally disturbed children suffer the most and the scary thing is they don't know why they're suffering. That is why I prefer a bottle of lubrication and rosey palm.

You are normal, don't worry :). When I see how difficult things are for our generation I don't want to imagine how hard things will be for future generations. It is a crime to have a child under these circumstances

Normal I'd say.
I would never want children either, I'm just so annoyed whenever I'm around them.

I don't want them either. You're normal.

This has been asked a lot on here, and yes it's normal. I personally would like to have kids someday, but parenting isn't for everyone and you have the right to make your own choices.

I think it's normal. There are enough children in the world anyways.

This question has been asked on this site so many times that if I did't know better, I'd say it's more abnormal to want children.

Normal.
Also, remember, 49% of pregnancies in the United States are unplanned (accidents). But most parents still act happy. I call it, making the best of a shitty situation. If it wasn't so socially acceptable to procreate, 49% of Americans would be social outcasts. True story.

Its normal, I'm the complete opposite though (: x

Weird thing for me, I've never really found babies cute.. I feel horrible just saying that!!! But I find kittens and puppies adorable ~w~ But babies are kinda hairless, drooly, and smelly.. If I had my own I suppose it would be different, cute cause they depend on me sorta thing, plus it would be a mixture of both me and my partner. I think it's normal, reading the comments I nearly converted to the no kids side lol But I'm pro having children. I'm a nurturer at heart :P

I didn't want children either but we now have an 11 month girl.
It's a lot of work and a financial strain but we love her very much and she has really made our relationship better.
I used to question my relationships and wonder "what if" but now I don't because if I'd made any other choice I wouldn't have her.
She has driven across Australia with us and comes camping with us and out to restaurants where she makes a mess for the poor staff.

It's still life just not as we know it.

I still voted yes.

Normal. I have a child but my husband and I waited for 7 years before trying. I don't understand why people try to force their idea of what defines a family onto society.

Normal. I also don't want any kids. I personally don't think I have the patience to take care of a kid for the majority of my life.

I love babies!!! Just as much as I adore puppies and kittens!

You should look up childfree movement or voluntary childlessness. I have done so when I was questioning my own lack of interest in having kids myself. And I absolutely love children!! It's a matter of lifestyle and incompatibility with my choices in life. What's interesting is that from a very early age I expressed my intentions of not having children, so I'm not really sure where it's rooted. But I say it's perfectly normal.

I've been alone for so long that the idea of having children is just a miniscule thought in the very very back of my mind. In recent years, I've even been contemplating the idea of maybe never having children... I just don't know anymore.

Completely normal! Don't let the idiots tell you you're abnormal for not wanting kids. Here is my theory, for all those losers who think people who don't want kids are evil or weird: My theory is that the creation of people like us (childfree) is nature's way of telling us to cut down on the breeding. The world is WAY overpopulated (don't listen to that cunt Michelle Duggar, who says that the entire world population can fit into Florida...she's an idiot). We are straining our resources as it is, so I truly believe that the childfree movement is nature's way of helping to level out the overpopulation. So, I'd say the childfree are in a way, better than the breeders (I apologize for my smugness, but I don't apologize for my feeling on the subject). We are willingly not creating more strains on our economy and resources, and in doing so, helping the environment.

Hiya,

I don't. I'm physically disabled so the only thing I could do for my child is teach them about decent music and make up stories for them. I consider both of those the best things my parents ever did for me. If I wasn't disabled and suddenly became that way after already having a child, fair enough, but having one when I know I wouldn't manage seems very silly. I couldn't even look after a cat.

Pregnancy talk bores me rigid because it's not something that's going to feature in my life, and the idea of breastfeeding makes me feel sick.
