why do some people get offended and upset when you say you don’t want kids?

YOUNG women, only, have the energy to have kids and chase them around. Older women don't.

Some VERY effed up stuff MIGHT happen to your head when you are about 38 and your biological clock has ticked you OFF the breeding rolls.

It happens to a lot of women. They dont want kids till suddenly they realize they CAN'T have them.

They assume everyone wants them, or should have them regardless of whether they can, want to or can even afford to which is crazy to me. I remember being about 23-26 and every time someone would ask about how old i was the very next question was " How many kids you got?" when i would say none, they would then begin this barrage of questions ranging from " Are you gay? to, What are you waiting for?" as if my life were meant for nothing more but to be a baby factory and i had zero other goals or desires. 🙄

Not wanting kids is more understandable nowadays than ever imo .... offended folk may be the ones telling you what you can and cannot be doing with your body too, Hypocrite Central if ya ask me.

I know that now I have kids I would never change that even if I could. I cannot see where anyone would get mad if you wanted or didn’t want kids. Now I can see where a significant other may be upset with the situation though. I think some people shouldn’t have kids lol

Well, they're not wrong- your mind will change, even if your conclusion doesn't; you eventually reach a point where the desire kicks in. That doesn't mean you forget about all the downsides, but instinct will teach you that propagating the species is a good thing.

If anyone called me selfish for not wanting children I would stop talking to them.
