I can understand their mindset, it isn't mine, but I can understand some of the appeal. I have several friends my age that have never wanted kids and still don't. But, they have some maturity and life experience and don't make immature statements like the OP did.


Children are a blessing that many take for granted.

Kids are awesome. I don't understand the mindset of people who don't want them.

Raising a kid for 18 years and prioritizing your whole life around a little punk that will probably grow up and move away and barely ever call home or even care how you are doing just isn't that attractive to some people. The idea of spending 30 mins in the morning fighting with a kid to get ready for school on time, and then seeing them for about 2-3 hours while they rush to finish homework and get to bed isn't enjoyable to everyone. Spending thousands of dollars a year on a kids private school education so that they can have their best chance at this shithole world isn't attractive to everyone. Creating human life and raising a child that has to put up with this absolute shite show of chicks with D1cKs and mass shootings just isn't that attractive to some people.

What's more selfish? To bring a kid into this shite show because you want to continue your family name and share a wholesome and ultimate love with your spouse. Or deciding that it may not be the best idea to have a child and raise them in a world of filth that they'll have to put up with for another 80 years! Can you imagine the absolute disaster that this country and world will be in by the time lil johnny makes it to 50 years old?! Screw that.
