That's me... So many friends want to have kids,
except me. I feel as if I'm the only woman
who does NOT want to have any kids even
if I ever get married someday.... I feel that
any kids are such "pain in the ass." No offense
to anyone with kids, but that's just
how I feel all of my life... People who know me
very well said that I simply have NO patience
with children.
Who on AD feel the same way as I do ?
and anyone who love children does not have
to reply toward this thread anyway....
 
You were once a child and probably a pain in the butt.

No offense.
 
I don't think I would want any kids at this time. Maybe later in the future, but not now. I'm still young and wild. I prefer to live my life while I can before producing offsprings!
 
Nothing wrong with not wanting children. I respect people who are able to think ahead and decide whether they want children or not and I also respect those who know that they would not be good parents and protect themselve well enough that they don't end up being parents.

I have two adorable children and I wouldn't change that for anything in the world. :D
 
I do not want kids bec I might not be a good dad plus I have things wrong with me that might be passed on genetically. I don't want kids to have my problems.
 
Growing up I didn't want kids because the whole idea of childbirth was just ew ew ew... I preferred the thought of having a zoo of animals as my 'babies' :) (also a boyfriend... not a husband.. so that if things go sour, I can just kick him out of my pentahouse, and move on)

But now... I think my biological clock is clicking.... but I won't have kids until after marriage and at least a bit of time in the 'honeymoon' phase...

Just wish they'd knock me out and deliver babies without going thru the torture and gory.

Honestly, I think some kids nowadays are awfully spoiled brats... I think they only turn out well when the parents are ready for themand willing to learn with him, not let them run around wild! I've seen too much of that and I just want to step in and say "Go sit down!" Unfortunately the mother(s) would glare at me... while other people 'whisper' "oh thank you..."
 
NO way not anytime soon in the future- not now but perhaps someday, I cannot say NEVER :)

Rather own pets than kids right now hah!
 
well i have known some guys, gals who never want to have children.. and they never did after they're married.. getting old.. they still never have children.. i respect that..

for me i have 1 child..
Before when i was in high school i never wanted to have kids, i just wanted to be free. going scuba diving all my life. traveling.. but now i have a child.. I'm happy with it i guess..
 
im not ready for kids at the moment, but i do have a furkid, her name's lilo u can see that in my avatar, shes a darling! but shes the biggest responsiblity i have to deal with right now, and thats even better than dealing with kids til im more finanically stabled. :)

good for ya... i do respect people who stand up for what
they believe... i knew that i would go crazy being
"overly worried" about my own kids too much emotions
too overwhelmed etc... i would probably become the
most nervous-wreck mother in the world... so thats why
i have to make a choice not to have any kids at all
so that way i can have peace on my own....

Yeah ahah good idea!! i wish that there is "NO Time Limit" for women/mothers... u know the pressure for having kids before
too late...

me too i love dogs but it's too heartbroken to see these
dogs with short lives survive for only between 7 to 14 years
and watch them die.. i hate that cuz it happened to me
before my 14 years old dog died it was very sad and thats
why i do not want another dog again because i knew they
will die again... heartbreaking....

geez, how adorable ! agree that it's easier to take care of lilo more
than kids... now you just mentioned "financially stable" then
i wonder whether this would make any difference.. the more
i think about this, i realize that "peace" is more of an issue
than "money" (Just a penny for a thought...)
 
I grew up not wanting to have children, and slowly does it break down. More and more of my friends have children, and i enjoy them. But for the time being I do not want any. I have kittens, thats sZDJKGhslkfjg a bit of work. I'll settle for OPK for now - other people's kids. :D
 
I personally feel that having children is not for everyone and that no one should feel bad for not wanting to have children. The children will know when they are not wanted and it's the worst feeling in the world. The children need to grow up feeling very wanted and loved so that they can survive well in this hard world. I can understand why some people do not want children. Because they don't have enough patience, would rather spend time doing other things on their own without having children be in the way, whatever their reasons are. I do support their decision wholeheartly. I myself LOVE children and we have five children. They are very loved and wanted. They are my priority in our lives. But IF I was the one who did not want children, I would not have any and it would be none of anyone's business to tell me to have children or tell me that I was selfish...this is not true at all. There's just too many children being abused in this world because they were not wanted or their parents did not have the patience or time to teach them about many things in life and education.

Before I had my boys, I felt that we (me and my husband) were financially stable until we got my firstborn, our financial level changed. I feel that we won't be financially stable anymore, it doesn't matter if you have children or not. I feel that we won't be financially stable at all until we die, due to modified incomes and modified bills. That's just my opinion. (We don't do "employment jumping around.") That's just my opinion. Thank you.

If you are financially stable, that is great and good luck!
