I don’t want kids and I feel like it’s becoming much more common among women than men. Most men I know aren’t too willing to budge on having kids. I’m lucky my partner is also vehemently against them

Basically none of my female friends want kids except me and the only reason I want them is bc I have a really good partner who I think would make an amazing parent I’m still on the fence though

I want them, but only if I can create a good environment for them. That will either be with an amazing romantic partner or at least one amazing friend. And I need the finances for it, which is not guaranteed in this economy.

I’d rather be six feet deep than have kids. Sometimes I have nightmares about pregnancy and when I see them irl it creeps me out

When your all 80, alone, empty and die in a puddle of your own regret, please know all those who decided to have families will die surrounded by loved ones and full of pride and purpose.

Unless your kids die before you from the exhaustion of being expected to care for their parents as well as their children (what happened to my father) his dad has three loving children and died alone because they were either out of state, busy with their own families, or my dad, who was so busy juggling the needs of two sets of parents, a job, and his own children, that he couldn’t take care of his own health and missed what would otherwise have been treatable cancer

Also If the main reason you have kids is to have family around you, odds are you will not be a very good parent and those kids will not be around for you. If you stay childless you still can still very much have community and loved ones by your side anyway

There’s so much wrong with this comment. First of all, kids are not a space filler for your own manufactured loneliness. Different people find fulfillment through different means, and for many people kids are not fulfilling. I would rather live my life on my own terms than wake up at 60 and realize I didn’t get to do anything *I* wanted to do because I was spending all my energy on kids. There’s also the fact that it’s not guaranteed your kids will stay in your life
