I personally would not. I like being around kids. ( some days I need a break, but decent kids are fun to listen to, fun to engage, they bring joyful energy around.

That’s a tough one. If YOU like kids.

@Mindful What if you like kids but don't want to be a parent?

@Mindful He likes animals, he just doesn't like how kids cry and scream and stuff. He also told me he didn't like the idea of a kid interrupting our alone time, I feel the same way there.

@WendyLopez43 have you seen him complain about other people or is he somewhat agreeable with others?

Absolutely! Kids get in the way of peaceful quiet times. Movie time. Private time. Lol. Yep. (For the sake of not being persuasive I will leave out the benefits of kids) I FBI k the hardest thing about not having kids will be having to answer the question “why don’t you want kids?”

@Mindful He's agreeable, and also I just don't think either one of us could handle all the responsibility. I don't think I could with stuff like schooling. Not to sound selfish, but I kinda just wanna focus on us.

@WendyLopez43 it’s not selfish. It’s being honest. And if you have found some you can love and be loved by, that actually is pdecent, that’s sounds good to me. It’s never selfish to be true to yourself. But also be open to the fact that as people age, things change. And someday HE may want kids, lol. Someday YOU may want kids. Then regret it or never regret it. Who knows, but as you grow, you will find yourself S’s changing. What matters is that you get thru those changes together. When you decide you go or do things against the other persons will, without consideration, or having agreed to something whether it’s spending time together or apart... ignoring the other person or being dishonest, is what ruins a relationship. If you both honestly don’t want kids, you are lucky to have found each other! being yourself, IS being your best. If you want to “help” kids, help your own family and babysit every now and then. Or sponsor their team shirts or fundraisers. You don’t have to have kids. Oh but do plan for retirement!!!!!!
