Not planning a family, children are optional

We don't want to have kds yet
We work hard for what little we do earn and don't see the point in giving all that up just to feed an extra mouth. Isn't the country overpopulated as it is?

I'm fed up being told to have children by absolutely everyone! Why do people assume that because I am now in my late twenties, that I must now either have a child or that I must be planning for one in the near future?

| 02-8-2010 | I have gritted my teeth over this for a while now, alot of my friends are having babies or have kids at that so called "cute stage" Why do they feel that I would benefit from knowing every detail of their childs development, let alone spend a luchtime looking at photos on their mobile of their offspring! I am now at the stage of avoiding friends who insist on going through this everytime I meet them, sorry but I just find it totally boring! | Windy Miller |

Not everyone likes KIDS, I cant stand the TERDS. They are annoying and have nasty attitudes if people are diffrent from them they stare at people who are overweight and make fun of special needs people, they need to be taught some maners, they scream and get on my effing nerves. I cant evenn stand the sight of them let alone hear them. We were all kids once is true, but KIDS today are entirely diffrent from years ago, ,and kids will be kids, thats the most annying term they seem to be more nasty today then when I was growning up. | Get these effing kids away from me. |

"If you have a mission in life better than having kids I agree, otherwise how do you contribute to life on earth?"
Do you have any idea of the problems with food, fuel and clean water that the world is heading for if the population keeps growing at the current rate? We need to reduce the global birth rate immediately and drastically.
There are many "missions in life" more worthy than having children, such as looking after the needs and future needs of the children (and adults) who are already here.
How do we contribute to life on earth without children? Those who don’t have children are reducing the land we will need for food production, mineral mining , house building etc which will contribute to slowing down the rate at which we are destroying the habitats of other species. | Smithy |
| 15-5-2010 | First. Doctors recommend women to have children in their twenties because they are born healthier. If later in your life you may want a child it maybe too late biologically.Plus if you are older you won't enjoy your kid' childhood as well as if you are younger. You still want to see your grandchildren right?If you make a child when you're 40, you'll be 70 by the time your child will make a child too.
Second. I don't want to have children either. But saying you want to preserve your income in order not to feed an extra mouth it's horrible. If you have a mission in life better than having kids I agree otherwise how do you contribute to life on earth? Do you at least plant some trees to leave them to future generations?You haven't got here on your own, you know, many people contributed so that our generations to live. We have to give something back.
Third. Are you sure you asked your wife about this subject? She maybe of another opinion than you. | Alex |

| 30-3-2010 | It's a choice. Simple as that. Some people don't want to sacrifice just about everything to have a baby. I have seen relationships destroyed and put under so much strain as a result of a child coming between the couple. I love my partner very much and we have both made the decision that having a child would put so much strain on the one thing we hold dearest in our lives. People can call us selfish for what we have chosen not to do but at the end of the day, if you were truly selfless, you would have adopted. Creating a child in your image is one of the most narcissistic things one can do.
Don't get me wrong, I love children. I'm an elementary school teacher (as is my partner) but to be frank, when I hold a beautiful child in my arms, I want to be able to give it back. | You're pregnant....congatulatio |

| 25-3-2010 | I`m totally with you there! when I was in my 20s & 30s, I used to get nagged just like you. I even had people get abusive to me, saying that I was aunnatural, not a real woman, & so on & on ad infinitum. I have always found babies a bit repulsive ,drooling, ,& throwing up everywhere. If this makes me abnormal, then that`s just too bad. Im so glad that I`m past 50 now, so I don`t have to listen to that anymore. | anne |
| 07-3-2010 | 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. | Parasite Free |
| 29-1-2010 | 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. | angry at you |
| 06-12-2009 | 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. | Gian |
| 02-11-2009 | Children are bloody awful. I especially hate it when people bring them into work | Howsoonisnow? |
