Why Some People Don’t Want To Have Children by AjalaJ(m): 1:50pm On Feb 08, 2018
I’m actually blown away that most people end up having kids. I look at having children as a burden onto my ridiculously free lifestyle.

I have no obligations or responsibilities except to myself. I will end up saving millions of dollars. I will save hours and hours of time to do more exciting things like travel around the world and watch really cool old movies. I will be able to fulfill my life’s purpose of helping people form better relationships with each other.

And yes, I understand that I don’t realize the wild, unconditional love I could feel for having a kid.

I don’t want to have to feel such love for my kids in the same way that I don’t want to feel such addiction to heroin. I’m sure it feels amazing to watch my offspring run around, but I’d rather just avoid the whole situation altogether and do stuff that I want to do.

And yes, I understand that kids will take care of me when I’m old. But guess what? I’m going to be really rich when I’m old, so I won’t need a kid to take care of me. Plus, I would love to relieve them of that obligation in the first place.

I am simply too selfish to have kids.

Plus, my little sister is going to have kids, and I’m going to be coolest, most loving uncle anyone’s ever met! And then, after I’ve played with my little nieces and nephews, I can go home and do whatever the hell I want—alone!

Lastly, I just don’t feel strongly enough about wanting to carry-on my lineage. I’ll be dead by then, so I don’t give a shit. It doesn’t matter to me. When I die, that’s the end of the world for me. It’s the end of my narrative. And carrying-on my lineage is not a big enough sell if I can’t actually watch it happen for eternity.

As you ask me why I don’t want any kids, I think the more interesting question is why do you actually want kids?

In Western countries, we see kids as a big deal. But in Western countries, they don't see them as a big deal.

To each their own. Thankfully, in our time it is possible to have s.ex without having children. I understand why many people decide not to have children, unfortunately, more often than not, these people would raise children properly because they have the intellect and resources to when many people who have plenty of children raise malnourished mo.rons.

Anyway, as with everything, there are advantages and disadvantages to each and every decision.
