We don't want to have children

I love the people who can't come up with any better argument than "But you were a kid once!!" Yes,I was. Everyone was,& if only our parents had been smart enough not to over-breed themselves either,we wouldn't be as bad off in this world as we are. Unfortunatly,in my case,my father got my illigal immigrant mother drunk on a margarita. That's a good enough reason to keep a young parasite & even breed another,huh?
There is no "miracle" involved with fornicating,those who invite a crotch fruit into their lives have nothing better than to whine at the smarter of us that don't. Like I've always said,those that breed shouldn't,those smart enough to get sterilized are really the ones who should train the future.

I wish you were all clever enough to read this list of comments and realise that you are all pretty vile people. it is one thing to make your choice not to have children but to assume that those with children are docile and to be glad to not have your stepchildren anymore???? well why did you go into their lives in the first place then??? they are much better off without you!!! and everyone going on and on about children being awful and not liking kids!!! YOU WERE A KID ONCE! how many times do I have to say this on ridiculous posts on here. the more I read each of the posts that ignorant, nasty people have put on this site, the more I despair of people these days. I would take a good hard long look at yourselves. you should all be absolutely ashamed of your comments.

If any one tells you that having children is a bed of roses think again , you do your best for them and love them with all your heart and due to the selfish society we live in they twist everything and break your heart ; so I don't blame anyone for deciding not to have any.

Children are bloody awful. I especially hate it when people bring them into work

well done you clever poeple, I lost my step kids, best thing ever, for me.

think. two words LIFE/ TIME you never got enough, p/s now having FANTASTIC time

Hi there,

I am emailing from a TV production company called Dragonfly. I am currently developing a documentary about young people who do not want to have children and who are considering becoming sterilised.

I would love to speak to anyone under the age of 30 who is childless but considering sterilisation. All calls will be dealt with in the strictest of confidence.

I can be reached at holly.davies@dragonfly.tv or on 0207 033 2267.

Many thanks.

Also I'm FED UP totally of people telling me I have to have kids. Since when should bullying/peer pressure be a good way to breed? Sick of it! I hear ya Grotnip loud and clear! My partner and myself find it's probably the best unselfish thing we have done not to add to the problems, we should feel proud but with mobs/litters of children all around us instead I've recently started to get shut out of conversations and made to feel less of a woman. Thank goodness I've started to find groups online that are okay that I'm not breeding like a rabbit.

Its a personal choice as to whether you wish to have children or not. Every individual is different. These people who are urging you to have children may be jealous because they are now "trapped" with too many children and they want everyone to feel the same as them. I have children, but that was my choice as I wanted a family.

There seems to be some sort of sheep mentality that the majority of society follows by having kids because that is what is 'expected'. The moment you get married or pass the age of 27 and haven't got any kids there are raised eyebrows and whispers about the whole child issue.
I have never wanted children and I am totally happy and have a fantastic partner who feels the same.
I enjoy my life, I work hard and have nice things and money to spend as I need. I suppose that it could be viewed as selfish in a way, but I don't for one nano second feel bad about that.
I think people are coming round to the idea that they have the choice and I hope more and more do make the right decision and don't end up doing what society thinks they 'oughta'.

I don't want kids and I'm proud of it. I don't like children in the slightest, and there are no positives, for me at least, to me having kids. It's not 'selfish'. Why the hell is it selfish to not want to bring something unwanted into the world.

It annoys me when people say 'oh, but some people can't have kids, how do you think they feel?'. What the hell has that got to do with me having kids?

Thank you for that post. My sentiments exactly. What annoys me is when people say "oh you're only in your mid-20's you'll change your mind soon" - I think - what kind of idiotic planet are you living on to *assume* that age has anything to do with a desire NOT to have something that will drain my income?

I have been married for 13 years.And I have no children (my own choice)I told my wife the day I met her I didn t want children & she agreed.My parents were a little suprised but they respected my wishes,I don t feel I m missing out on anything,But if you have children pay for their school,why shouldn t we have a pay as you use system in this country!
