In my ideal world, people who wanted children would have to pass tests of competence and psychological suitability before they were allowed to become parents.
Speaking as a parent, I can say with some authority that while lots of non-parents believe they know what it's like beforehand, nobody has a fucking clue what it's really like until it happens.
If someone doesn't want to have children, any reason and none is valid. On the other hand, very few people can come up with a reason for them to have a kid that stands up to serious, rational examination.
Is this a valid argument for not wanting to have children?

You might as well get a 100lb sack of rice that magically sucks all your money, and carry it round with you for 22 years.
