Why is that as soon as you say that you don't want children, people start judging you, calling you selfish and say that you'll change your mind as you get older because you'll be lonely? I don't get it.
i know a lot of people who dont want kids.. im on the fence of kids because i dont want to raise kids in this kind of world and have to worry how they will turn out.
and just because you have children doesn't mean that they're going to be around for you when you're older!

Me either! There are too many people in the world, damaging the natural environment to the point of destruction, but people keep on having babies for their own pleasure or fulfillment. I think you are very unselfish! And you can live a good life connecting with people in all kinds of other ways and not be lonely.
sweetie do what's right for you, Having kids is a choice. you just have to safe for your retirement, worst case scenario you get Dementia when your old lol, and you forget everything. in that case be nice to your nieces and nephews and they will visit you in the retirement home. but your too young to worry now :)
I agree I never told my daughters that they had to have children.. I don't believe in telling them what to do with there lives but did incouraged to find there dreams..
I totally agree with you about children. I think the world is over populated as is. Just remember it is your choice, not anyone of those judgmental people.

I get this all the time. I hate it. I have other goals. It's insulting that changing the lives of the living isn't as valued as making new life is.
