The reason most of them don't want to have kids is because they shoot blanks from drinking too many soy macchiatos

Let's be real for a minute: most of the people choosing to not have kids would be fine, and most of the people having too many kids are the ones who should be choosing not to.

Convince me otherwise.

I find this interesting about the OT

People say being gay or transgender is a mental disorder because it is going against the natural human way. And most agree


But, wouldnt not wanting to procreate also be going against the natural human way? Is that a mental disorder as well?

I was the oldest child in a house full of kids. Got my fill of the ungrateful little ingrates at an early age.

How does it make someone weak because they want to enjoy life by themselves or even with just them and a significant other? Sounds to me like you're resentful of your own shitty situation.

And with how often you parents bitch about your kids and how terrible they are, it's no wonder people don't want children.

Now excuse me while I go figure out what I'm going to with all this free time and disposable income.

And I'll get skewered for saying that, but we all have defects. I have plenty of mental defects.

But going against a biological imperative is surely signs of a mental defect.

Damnit you beat me to it

I'm sorry. Would you prefer me to be knocked up out of wedlock and letting you pay for my kids?

Real talk: I wouldn't mind having kids at some point but I also want my kids to grow up in a financially stable, two parent home.

Until we can make some sort of long acting birth control that can be spread by menthol cigarettes, taxpayers will keep needing to have babies

Student loans and the expense of everything is why a lot of people need to delay kids.

I was married young and waited on kids until we were more financially stable. Then got divorced and never met anyone I wanted to marry. Now I'm 40, recently settled down, but don't want to have kids at this point of my life. I'm too close to early retirement and don't want to be nearing 60 having lost half my savings and paying child support.

I couldn't care less if someone wants or doesn't want children.


I'll say this though, I have two kids and couldn't imagine living my life without them.

Something seems "off" to me when young adults with no education, skills, or decent job prospects just have to have kids.

Nobody is paying taxes to support public schools, the health clinic, WIC, Head Start, or similar programs because of the ones who elected to not have kids. And those child-free people don't get a tax deduction for children. How does that make sense?

You should go up to childless people and thank them for being so generous and not imposing a greater tax burden on you.

All of our lives are very weak compared to what our ancestors went through. The least we could do is continue passing the torch while we enjoy the easiest way of living that our ancestors helped create.
