When I tell someone that I don't want kids and never will want kids, they always give me the same "you won't be saying that when you're older!"

Bitch, I'm 27. And I'm as petrified by the prospect of having kids now as I was when I was 17.

You would think at 27 people would respect your choice on that a little bit more than someone who's in their early twenties. When I hear this, I say "ha ha well we'll see" after my initial anti babby statement, then curse-me-ha-me-yah the person who said it under my breath.
 
Forget kids, get a vasectomy.

Heh, though some doctors are really nervous about approving patients for vasectomies. Some doctors basically expect you to be a 30+ meth addict with a bunch of illegitimate kids before they'll snip your bits.

A friend of mine was considering getting one of his friends to pretend to be his drug addled baby momma. For those who watch it's always sunny, think Dennis and Dee go on welfare.

Well the downside to vasectomies, is you have all these men who know they can't knock a bitch up, so why wear a rubber. In a year they have to see all these STD cases from the people they gave vasectomies too. Sort of makes sense from an epidemiologic perspective.

Oh definitely. We need a lot better sex education.

But the "but they're just going to have a bunch of unprotected sex!" argument is pretty shitty. Like, you could say the same thing about birth control pills. In fact, I bet birth controls have a much bigger effect on STD rates than vasectomies.

At the end of the day, doctors shouldn't be making such extremely personal decisions based on public health issues for their patients. They should be doing what's best for their patients, exclusively. Public health issues are the purview of the government / health organizations.

But that issue aside, I don't think STDs are what's motivating doctors to be iffy about vasectomies. I think it's almost entirely a eugenics thing. "But in ten years you're gonna regret it and be depressed you can't spam the earth with more crotch grubs!!"

Yea, I mean I agree with you that it should be up to the patient. If women can make a big stink about "it's their body", why can't men too?

Can't vasectomies be reversed, though?

Oh definitely. And really, I completely agree with the "it's their body" thing for women. But that goes both ways. A doctor telling me, a grown ass man, "lol, nope, you'll regret it later!" is pretty insulting. It's my vas deferens, damnit.

(Although, to my surprise, my doctor was extremely cordial and didn't ask a billion questions. From what my friends tell me, it's worse in more conservative places, like in the south.)

Yeah, but it's probably better to treat vasectomies as permanent right now, because reversing vasectomies is something of a gamble. I think like 75% success rate sounds about right. Reversals are getting better though.
 
Hopefully never. I would make a terrible mother. Only problem is that Boyfriend wants kids. He keeps trying to convince me to let us have at least one but I won't budge.
 
I've known since the sixth grade I didn't want kids, nothing's ever changed in that regard, and as I get older, my own personal failings have more than reassured me I wasn't good parent material even if I HAD wanted kids. Hell, I knew from grade school that I wasn't even going to get MARRIED, and it wasn't until I turned 38 that everyone around me conceded that I wasn't lying.

And the "you'll change your mind" people are the absolute WORST, even aging past the point of child-rearing doesn't stop them, they just change the tune to "How sad you must be because you didn't......"
 
I'm starting to feel a little better about the idea of fatherhood since I got married. I'm still nowhere close to ready, but I'm starting to have more and more experiences where I realize after the fact that I'm slowly being prepared for it.
 
I'd love to raise kids, but I'd rather wait until I'm secure with financials and a good job before I even think about getting married/having kids.
 
I've always been very anti-kids myself. It's just something I really have no desire for in life. My only problem is that the older I get the harder it is to find someone who isn't a single mom. The only thing I want less then having my own kid is to end up with someone elses.

Having just that slightly better degree of control is comfy.

If I don't have kids my family lineage actually dies...at least as far back as I know of.
It used to bug me, but I could always donate by making a deposit at the bank.
 
I'm not sure if there are any potential fathers or mothers here in a forum dedicated to shitposting and making fun of retards, but just in case there is I'd like to share my story since it might actually help someone.

If you asked me a couple years ago, I wouldn't have wanted kids. When you're really young, the prospect of having to dedicate the rest of your time to a child is not something that you really want to deal with. It's for that reason that a lot of other parents I know decided to never have kids or chose to have kids later in life because they still wanted to be able to have fun and do things that having a child would make impossible to do.

I wasn't given that opportunity to enjoy a few years of "freedom" but it's not something I regret either. My father was slowly losing a battle to cancer and one of the things he always said was that he wanted to be able to meet his grandson. Long story short, our son was born four days before my father died, so even if it was only for a little while, our little family was able to be whole, and that was important to me.

Once you have a little guy in your life that looks up to you and will seek your guidance as he grows up, it really puts into perspective what is actually important in life, and having money or entertainment really isn't it. The important thing in life is to know that when you breathe your last breath that you were loved and appreciated by the people in your life.

I flip-flop, but for the most part I don't want kids.
I have a fear of pregnancy and I just see it as parasitic. I know that sounds fucked but that's how I've always seen it.
I don't really like children, they're nasty, expensive, loud, etc. And with the lifestyle I want to live, a kid wouldn't fit in.
Dogs will replace children for me.

Plus, I don't know if I could handle having a child who is potentially disabled, and if I could handle them making a fool of themselves if they potentially ended up like OPL. It would be a lot to handle mentally, and I fear that I could not provide for the child as well as someone else could. I'm just not mother material.
 
I'd like a child or two, but not right now. My little sister is barely out of high school and already has a kid with another on the way, and I... want to have some stability going before I even think about having a kid. For now, hairy babies are the only babies I need (and can handle). I'm awkward with other people's kids because I have no fucking idea what to do with someone else's mini-me, but my own I think I'd be okay with.

No more than two, though. Two's my limit.
 
In the future, I want children. That's something that I always wanted despite everything. I don't know why, its just been a goal. However, I'm not prepared for it. I need to better myself and find someone that would help me with that first, someone that would be there for me. So far, every time I date, I find the person that would screw me over in a heart beat. (Or, like the case of my recent ex, I was there for her but she wouldn't be the same for me. She would lie to me and say all sorts of shit, then I just get all upset.)

I'm not ready for it in terms of my own mental status. Despite wanting children, I do have BPD tendencies and I need to work those out before introducing a new life. Though, to be honest, I'm not sure if I can physically have kids anyway...
 
Having Children and raising the next generation to be better than us is the ultimate goal of life.
sadly most of the developed countries that should be making better children are the future are deciding to not have children and thus reducing the populations while planned parenthood and stuff like that will never happen in third world countries like india.
