What reasons do you have for thinking you don't want to have kids of your own?

i dont want them to suffer during the climate crisis and i dont want children born with less rights than i was. i take a lot of comfort knowing i dont and never will have children

I feel no desire.
I have no long-term partner.
I don't feel well overall even without pregnancy and have no motivation to make myself feel even worse.
I believe that children are for healthy people. If someone isn't healthy, especially if it's something genetic and decides to have them, it's their choice but I think that it isn't fair to the kids.

Having my own kids and family and they love me as I love them is a cool tempting idea.

But look at the world , wars here and there, everything is on edge it feels like we are one bad meme away from WW3.

Climate change and extreme weather is not going away any time soon.

Everything is expensive and getting worse.

I can't guarantee my life would be stable for the next 5 years so I am not bring a child to this world knowing I can't ensure them a happy stable life.

I didn't until I did, and that desire became a strong need. I was married, and we both had good careers, a nice home… everything was favorable for bringing a child into the world. But nobody told me about lactation! All I needed was a bell on my neck. It was a long year.

Same as you, and because of my spiritual beliefs. Also a major material factor is global economics and instability and societal violence/hatred.

Also, my parents are narcs and I don't want their bloodline to continue. I have struggled without much help most of my life from clinical depression, and I don't want to perpetuate suffering, fundamentally.

I would basically have to raise a soldier. Why???

Things to say the least are in major flux worldwide. Too much instability. In a better world, if I didn't have so much emotional unavailability from trauma from family and romantic relationships, then maybe I would have kids.

I have 5 kids however I have 60 acres and plan to build them all their own car and house with them so that they have the basic mechanical and construction knowledge to handle themselves. That being said not everyone is that lucky. This world is hard and if you can't protect them forever from the hardship you can encourage them to join a trade and make good money

One thing is the consideration of my age, income and responsibilities attached. In my culture the moral responsibility is up to when your kid is financially and socially settled, no matter what age the achieve.
