[quote:Anonymous Coward 13376778:MV8yMTU3OTAyXzM2NDczODYxXzFEOUE4NTE3] Thank you, everyone, for your responses. I don't know how to explain this, other than to say it's a ''gut feeling'' that having a child is a pathway to disaster. As a teacher, I see what parents go through and it's really quite unappealing. Of course during holidays or Kodak moments I rethink my stance, but 90% of what I see and hear from moms and dads is utterly mundane and off-putting. As a female, I have tried to ''fit in'' and feel the way society tells me I should (think about our baby obsessed culture and the obsession of celebrity moms). No matter how hard I try, I keep coming back to the feeling of HELL NO! [/quote]

Considering not having children at all.
Is it true that kids ruin marriages, wreck your finances and generally suck the pleasure out of life for their parents?
I am STRONGLY considering not having a child, ever, even though I'm female.
Most people think I'm crazy and tell me I'll regret my old age if I never have a kid.
Please share your wisdom, opinions and real life experiences regarding this topic.
TIA!
