A hot take that shouldn't be a hot take is as a woman, I am never having kids. I dont want them. I don't wanna spend my money on them and I don't think im capable of raising kids. I can barely take care of myself. I won't give birth, adopt, or anything

Good for you! I don’t think my life is fulfilled until I’m a parent (not bc society has taught me this but bc I feel like my childhood went wrong in every way possible and I want to adopt to give someone what I didn’t have).

I completely agree. I want children but no one should tell another how to live their life. If you don’t think you are capable of it, you just shouldn’t do it. I hate how society makes it seem like women have to have kids. That’s how so many kids get fucked up families.

I’ve thought that before but then I think of when I’m older and alone. It’d be nice to raise a family in a healthy environment that allows my kids to have kids someday and so on and I can have a family around me as I get old to tell my stories to and to hear theirs and see them grow. I want to raise a family the way I wish I was raised. But I support how others feel and think it’s okay to not want that. Some people just want to live without tie downs and worries and that’s okay too

I don’t get why people should care if you want kids or not unless they’re looking to be in a relationship with you

Yeah I’m the same. I do not want to rip myself open just to have a kid. IF I ever feel the need suddenly to have a kid, I will adopt but I doubt that will ever happen

It so satisfying when everyone else in your life reaches the maturity to respect you for it

Seriously. Like why should I have kids if I dont want them? That's literally so selfish. Reproducing just to reproduce

Like im not even mentally stable enough to take care of myself. Adding a child to the mix wouldnt help at all. The crying of a baby would set me off and I know that. And I just want to live my life the way I want and not have that controlled by a kid

I really respect it. Knowing that you can’t have a kid and that it would be harmful to you is something that I think more people need to admit to. I’m 20 and I’m fully well aware I’m not ready for a child now. But I want children and I know I’d be a fantastic parent. People should feel free to live their lives however they want. And if you don’t want kids? More power to you.

The hormone changes and pain COST of pregnancy and birth is just not appealing to me. That sounds like actual hell
