Do you want kids? Why or why not?
Ed ecco le risposte:
No. I’ll be telling them tonight when I get home.
I’ve gone back and forth on the idea since I was younger. I’m almost 40, can barely take care of myself financially, and haven’t been with anyone since my early 20s. It doesn’t matter if I want them or not, it’s just never going to happen.
Nah man. I don’t have the patience, I’m not emotionally available enough, I’m selfish and I’m an asshole.
I guess so.
At 9 and 11 it’s probably hard to get rid of them now
Nope, physically, mentally, and financially not ready for that and probably ever will be
Nope. I’m happy being the “rich aunt” in the family.
No. Because I have a developmental disability and have a hard enough time just caring for myself.
I love kids so much but I absolutely could not afford them with my 50K salary. I can barely afford my own life.
No, I can’t even afford a place to live.
I’m too independent. I like that I can kind of do what I like whenever. I could decide to drive to the coast for the weekend and it’s pretty much as easy as getting in the car and going. If I decide to go stargazing at midnight then get up at midday the next day, I don’t have to arrange anything. I just can’t see myself giving that up.
No, I want tacos instead
No. I make 48k and I’m barely getting by.
No. I don’t like kids, and I don’t have the patience for them.
I’m not confident in my ability to raise decent humans. So I’d rather not
No. Because I dont want to have kids.
Edit: Sorry for my grim outlook on the world, I didn’t realize it would cause so much discourse. I’m so glad you guys can see all the greats and positives amidst the negatives. But I will say, it is MY reasoning, and it doesn’t have to be yours!
Not even a little bit. I have never experienced baby fever, I have never looked at a newborn and said “aww so cute, I can’t wait to have one of my own!” Or anything like that.
I much prefer my lifestyle as it is, and I don’t need to go through the physical/mental/emotional stress of pregnancy and then raise a child for the rest of my life.
With the state of the world how it is, I wouldn’t want to bring a child into it only to see them struggle and suffer. It’s so easy to promise a bright future, but to actually fulfill that promise is incredibly difficult.
No. Even if this world was a peaceful utopia, parenthood is too stressful for me to take on. Also childbirth/pregnancy seem horrendous.
No. I tested positive for Huntington’s. I’m not passing it on.
You really asking redditers that!
