Is it normal to think that kids would be the end of the world?

I've never wanted children, as long as I can remember. But all of my friends and family think kids are the greatest and they can't imagine life without them. I can't imagine life WITH kids.. I have small dogs who I am convinced are even better than kids. If I was suddenly a mother I would feel as if my life was really over .. Is it normal to feel this strongly against having kids?

    If you don't want kids please don't have any, it's not like we're going into extinction.

    I don't want any either, it may not be the most normal thing with so many people spawning babies all over the place, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

    it's your choice, and there is nothing wrong with the way you feel. so many people can't understand that some women do not want to be mothers, but that is their issue, not yours. you are notmal.

    I don't want kids either because for me, they would be the end of the world.

    NOT having kid actually would be the end of humanity.

    If you find raising dogs more gratifying than raising children, then that's your choice. I don't want children because I don't think I could handle being so emotionally attached to something. The fact is, if you don't want kids, you shouldn't have them- if only for their own good. Some people are meant to be parents, and others aren't. It's not like our species is going extinct.

    in a way your life will be over.
    but you start a new one.
    right now is your life the same as it was when you were in high school? the same as it was in college?

    I hate kids, they annoy the hell out of me, but i can't wait to have a family of my own.

    you might dread them now, but in the end you will be extremely happy and proud to see them grow up, go through their firsts, achieve their dreams and so on.

    make up your mind soon, you don't want to wait till it's too late and eventually regret never having any.

    Not everyone is meant to be a parent. From what your saying, it's probably best you don't.

    You can chose not to have kids but this should not be because you think it is too much trouble or because you are selfish. If not, it is your choice: there are alerady enought people on the earth already!
