Why do women have babies?

This may come as something of a shock... but other people have different personal goals to you.

Because some people want a family...???

because men insert penises in them

You're insane. If you're too old to have kids you should be old enough to know by now that

1) Not all women suffer from the same weight problems that your Mom did. My Mom never touched 22 stone, she worked out, lost the weight and was never confined to such health problems. Keeping up your health is a process that requires a healthy lifestyle. Lifestyle. Lifestyle.

2) Not all women end up in the kitchen for the rest of their lives. My Mom certainly didn't. I know plenty of women who, while sometimes they have a difficult time, continue to fulfill happy and successful lives while raising a family.

3) Not all women have the same goals as you. Believe it or not, many women hold their status as a Mother as a source of happiness.

Believe it or not, a lot of women (including myself) enjoy children and see it as a growing experience rather than as a burden. I'm sorry if you have yet to meet a woman who sees it as such but trust me, there are plenty out there. They don't all have babies because they are dumb sluts or brainwashed by society.

Step 1. Think of a country.
Step 2. Type its name into Google followed by 'fertility rate'.
Step 3. Note which countries' females are having babies and which aren't.
Step 4. Direct your complaints more accordingly.

How many more of these anti child/overpopulation posts will there be? Is this one and the same user who's posting this bullshit? Get the fuck out of here and stop complaining about something that you can't change! Women should stop making babies because they're getting fat and unhealthy? REALLY?! You sound like an extremely selfish and superficial woman. And like that one user said, it's other countries that are to blame for overpopulation. Third world countries in which people have no education and give birth to 6 + children. If people would have 2 children at most there would be no overpopulation because 2 people make 2 children so it's balanced.

You really don't know why we have babies? Are you kidding me? Alright I will put this simply. WE HAVE KIDS SO OUR SPECIES DO NOT DIE! THAT IS WHY MEN MAKE SPERM AND WOMEN HAVE EGGS.

Some women love the idea of children, and just because they do doesn't make them inferior to you.
Besides, any half decent man in this day and age shares domestic responsibilities with his partner.
I'm 22, I figure that I'll want a kid when I have my career finally set in stone, so around 30. But mark my words I will not be tied to any kitchen sink.

Some women want kids, and some don't. Obviously you don't want any, and that's okay! Everyone is different. It would be a strange world if every woman on the planet had kids, wouldn't it? If you change your mind, you can have kids! If you don't want kids, then it's okay not to have kids! ;)

It would help to know how old you are. Everyone is different. My mom got pregnant at 18 and got married and had 2 other children. Unfortunately my dad was a monster and was forced to leave when I was around 6. She then had to raise us herself and worked endlessly. She was gone most the time on business. She said that she wished she would have chosen a better man to marry because she wanted nothing more than to be a housewife. She would say "Wouldn't it have been so nice to have me there when you got home from school?" I never replied because that sounds like a nightmare. I loved having no parents around. It was a blast. Having two parents around sounds terrible! But I digress. I don't like babies, but I like children I guess. I would only want to have a kid cause it would be fun to have someone that was mine. Some woman want to be mothers and some woman don't. That's just the way you look at the world.

well it is normal some people just dont like kids, and some people love to have kids I know my Mom loved having kids around (she did have six >.>) so yeah just depends on what type of person you are

Some people want to care for children others don't.

It's fine that you didn't have kids,
I personally would never have kids either, and I don't like it when people say, "Oh, you'll change your mind!"
As if they have any control over what I choose to do.

I don't care if it's considered "selfish" to not want to have kids, but I have many reasons, I know that I wouldn't make a good mother, I'm not exactly motherly, and not to mention I have health problems, and mental issues as well, and I'd rather not put having a baby on top of those issues.

How old are you? 16, 17, 18??

Because of a hormone "cascade" giving them a good feeling when they have sex with males that make them feel secure, this is because of evolution from single cell asexual organism to multicellular sexual organism. Also it is because of mortality, also pre-determined by the "selfish gene" hormonal programming.

i consider myself to be somewhat of a badass and kids were never a part of the picture until i met this boy who turned out to be a man. Now i want to give everything to him and share not only our own lives but create something in this world together.

we're in our early 20s but cut off from family and living together. We're very independant and we're all about working hard. He's at the shipyard in the city 14hrs a day and i work in town. He's very cocky and masculine so sometimes his attitude makes me feel like we're both living HIS life.

i never wanted a family but we're best friends and lovers and i feel confident enough to still do me and live the life i want while tending to his needs and desires as well.

so it really depends on your optimism. i could allow his manliness to run our life and i could feed off his finances, lifestyle, and opinions. But i prefer to compete with him and bring my personality and dreams into our life.

Women have babies because they are animals and female animals have babies. All animals come from females having babies. All people come from women having babies. It's nature.

Immortality of course. Don't you ever read any fantasy books? The quest for immortality has led many men and women to do strange and terrible things.

I'm with you on that. If my future wife doesn't want kids I'm totally fine with it. In fact if she does I plan to adopt.

I would like to know how people stand the screeching and chaos- physically as in one's own body able to stand it?

My mother had 5 children, she's thin, healthy and happy, your mom probably should never have had children to make them feel they where a burden and that she regretted having you/them, so it's a good thing you never had children either, but it's very normal and natural for men and women to want to have a family.

Because little children are cute and you'll have a family to connect with, spend holidays with and grandkids who'll give you presents and take care of you when you're old and lonely.

Because if they didn't our species would go extinct.

I love babies

I love my 2 kids but sadly they have deprived me of my goals that I use to have...I agree don't have any

Maybe we like babies.

Simple. Men can't.

For many people, having a children and caring for them gives them a purpose in life. It ensures that they have a legacy. So that when they die, a part of them will still live on in this world.

I'm not going to tell you that you're wrong if you don't believe in this, or this kind of thing is not important to you. But you asked this question and here is the answer.
