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! [/quote] This truly sounds selfish. I would say not having kids allows your soul to fully pass because your energy ends with you. With children, they become a part of you and carry you on. Its something you don't understand until you have children truly. If you make it an issue of yourself you are a slumbering soul... [/quote] Umm, would this reason to have children not be the most selfish and self absorbed reason? Someone choosing to not have children is not selfish, it is them being realistic and true to themselves - and accepting it will not be the easiest path to take in life. To have them for the above, whilst saying how selfish the one above sounds is ... pathetic!! Always makes me laugh how the breeders claim non breeders are selfish. Yet ask them why they had them - something like above. So they are not always alone. To care for them in old age. To have a mini me. Oh the love a unborn, unexistant child who cares not either way will .. GIVE THEM!! etc, etc. Personally i feel a person who has them is infact more selfish then the one who realises they probably cannot provide the best life to a child so does not take that path. Knowing they will be alone, knowing they will regret at times. But why does it even have to be a person is selfish as they wont breed to keep their dna in a overpopulated world that u can see how badly it has been destroyed in the last 100 yrs - imagine that in the next 100 since we are 8 times or so more now. People need to understand that the world is overpopulated and the children being brought into it will not have things easy. And if some chose not to add to this, good for them. And those that want them, if they can afford to suppor them totally themselves without handouts.. again good for them. Op, you are not selfish. You are listening to your inner voice and not just following like a sheep as they told u this is what u should do to fit in. Who knows, one day you may change your mind ... or you may never. But it is YOUR mind and your body and your life. [/quote] "Considering not having children at all.
