I won't say I'm completely 100% sure, but I'm preeeeetty sure I won't be having kids. I really have no desire to be wholly responsible for another human life.

My sister wants kids so I'm not afraid my parents won't have grandkids (they'd be fantastic grandparents). I want to be the really cool single aunt who travels the world and meets cool people and spoils my nieces and nephews.
 
Why do you want children?
I feel...secure when I am old,If I do have kids I want them to go to a education well enough to give them a good income...Although the process that comes before that....is sorta....rejected for me.
 
I don't want to go through being pregnant and giving birth because of two things.

1.It has negative effects on the female body.
2.Why bring more children into the world when there are hundreds of thousands of children in orphanages waiting for a loving parent to scoop them up?

I want to adopt children from less developed countries if there are any more in the future.
 
I want to have children, but only if I have a stable career.
I'll never bring life into the world if I can't raise them the way they should be raised.
 
I don't want to have children. I don't really feel like I would make a good mother, for one thing. Aside from that, let's just say that I can't see myself doing what it takes to become pregnant in the first place.

If I ever did have a child, it would be through adoption. Unfortunately, that costs a heck of a lot of money. If I could, though, I would like to adopt a child in need.
 
Heck no I don't want kids. I mean I'll babysit my friends' and relatives' kids, and I have nothing against kids themselves, it's just that the idea of me being a mother is really terrifying. All the brownie points in the world to the women who can handle being a mom, but it's just not for me. Who knows though. I might change my mind when I get older.
 
I don't want kids and I'm not changing my mind about it. I wish people would respect this.
Because I'm a cis-female, people like to assume that 1) I have a functioning reproductive system, and 2) I want to have children some day.

This planet is already overpopulated, if I did have children I would definitely adopt someone over the age of 10. That's assuming I would be ready to commit to raising a child, and that I would be financially capable of doing so. But the fact remains - I simply don't want to have kids & I don't see my view changing any time soon.
 
Hell no. For one thing I don't need a pooping peeing puking bank account training little version of me running around ruining things or annoying me or any of that. I don't want to be a bad parent. I don't want to bring anyone into this stupid world we live in, no one asks to be here and they sure don't need the shame of having a gay parent, that will never go away. Civil Rights in this country will get no where and once Ferguson + Gay Marriage settles down everything will go back to the old ignorance and restart in 40-60 years like it seems to always do. Don't need to put more children through that.

I agree with all of your sentiments.
It's absolute garbage that generally, society expects for all females to want to have children.
Even worse when it looks down upon the females who have chosen not to have kids.
 
Agh u~u
if my future wife wanted one then of course!
But I hate seeing pregnant women, I don't hate women, I just hate seeing pregnancy. (I don't hate birth either)
I mean you feel pain(from what I've heard) and women shouldn't have to go through that much pain. Seeing women in pain just hurts me too.

Yeah :\ I have a cousin who's my age and already having her third child... My family is starting to push the subject on me and it's ridiculous. "Oh, but you'll change your mind one day!" :confused: Why, solely because I'm female and I'm possibly capable of bearing children? It's ludicrous.
 
I'd have 2 at most, but only when I'm stable, my partner is supportive of this, and I have enough income to raise them till adulthood.
 
You were a child once.

Yup, I know that... thing is, though, it's only through the past year or two that I've realised that. Even without that, the entire trouble involved doesn't seem appealing to me.

Funnily enough; you're not the first person to say that to me. Far from it.
