You don’t need to have kids. I have kids. They are the most important thing in my life. I learn so much from them. They provide me a sense of purpose and responsibility that I didn’t have before. You get to grow with them. I gained a new appreciation for life that I didn’t have before and time suddenly exists in a much clearer perspective. They humble me, cause me to question my preconceived notions and opinions.
If you don’t want kids, that’s totally valid. These things I mentioned can be pursued through other means. Life is random and chaotic, and to me, that’s joy.

Fuck kids

I’m with you, Seth. Having kids is not for everyone
validswan on
I agree with what he said. In real life, the people that have kids look tired and stressed all the time to me. I think I would maybe want kids in the future, but that desire is totally outweighed by the freedom of not having them. Idk, having kids looks like you basically give your life away for 2 decades. Although, if I was wealthy I think that would actually make me feel more comfortable to have them

fuck yeah! we need more positive, non baby hating perspective on how not having kids is a viable and genuinely great outcome for some. too many people have kids because they feel the pressure or don’t want to miss out and it was a complete mistake, and that is far far more harmful than just abstaining even if you just aren’t sure.

We got a lot of humans in this world. Not bringing kids should also be celebrated. Especially if it’s not what you want. Intentional parenting is cool! Intentional non parenting is also cool!

I love the way he put it and I agree. Some people might call me selfish but I get overstimulated crazy easily. And when I’m overstimulated I’m mean. Why shouldn’t every moment be ‘me time’ if that’s the case?
In addition to the many other reasons why having kids isn’t in the cards for me. Good for Seth and his wife for living life on their terms!

It’s funny. My wife and I in our early 20s used to get dirty looks and a lot of “WHY?” responses from friends when we said we didn’t want to have kids. Now in our mid 30s when our friends that now have kids ask if we still don’t want kids and we say nope, they nod in agreement and say “yeah, I understand.”

Not many people will question a man but if a woman is questioned…
“Are you sure???”

I have a toddler and I’m now starting to be jealous of the kid free folk 🥲

I love having large amounts of free time, and I love being financially stable. I feel like both of those would dramatically decrease with kids. Everyone always told me growing up that I would regret not having kids and the pressures of society really wanted that to happen, but now being on the plus side of 40, I certainly haven’t had any regrets yet!
To add to this, it seems right now, having kids is more financially draining than it ever has been. Daycare is through the roof, insurance costs have gotten insane, and then if your kid wants college, there is another major financial hit. Not even adding the rising costs of other everyday things and it just boggles my mind why anyone would want kids in this world (well in ‘Murica at least).

I don’t want kids.
I don’t want dogs.
Fuck all of that. I do whatever I want all the time and I find fulfillment in my friends and family and most importantly, my own company.

I do not enjoy watching this show because I know how uncomfortable she is being that humongous. She spends a lot of time adjusting her outfits and stuff and it’s just it’s not entertaining. She is just huge and you know she’s not happy.

All of my siblings have kids, so A, I’m off the hook, and B, I got a preview of what that life is like and do not want that at all. Luckily there is no possibility of me spawning new ones.

My boyfriends sister has 4 kids under 3. That’s been enough to make me rethink my choices about kids
