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.

When I hear someone say they don’t want kids I thank them on behalf of my descendants and future society .
Genetic deletion was never an option for me.

why should you get to live a free happy consequenceless life?..

As long as you don't murder them because you don't want them, I see no issue

Nothing wrong with not making them

The reason I don't want kids because this age is so corrupt. I don't want my child to live in this trash world.

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. 🙄

I never understood the selfish argument. 😂 Who exactly are you being selfish towards? Your imaginary kid sitting in the void waiting for you to get your shit together?

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.

Let me guess, you're getting judged by the parents whose family reunions are held during prison visiting hours or something similar?

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

Offended ?

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.

Some people don't understand that they should simply mind their own business and not tell others how to live their life. It happens when you only have 1 as well. They ask when will you have others. So it's better to not mind them
