I'm the last of my siblings without kids. I love my nieces and nephews like they were my own though. At this point I've accepted that it's not in the cards for me, and I'm not too sure I want to bring children into the current state of the world.

is that so?

According to UNICEF, 22,000 children die each day due to poverty.

Number of children in the world
2.2 billion
Number in poverty
1 billion (every second child)
Shelter, safe water and health
For the 1.9 billion children from the developing world, there are:

640 million without adequate shelter (1 in 3)
400 million with no access to safe water (1 in 5)
270 million with no access to health services (1 in 7)
How does that disprove my point. You want to contribute to the culture of filth that creates children, without the children.

I love my little nephews so I think I would like having kids, but the thing is I have WAAAAAAY too many personnal frustrations that haven't been sorted out and even at 32 I can't comfortably say I'm an "adult in charge of his own life", wouldn't want to have a kid have to be dependent on me. And I don't want to have a kid when I'm too old myself so it's not looking good.

EVen though I have two kids, I respect the cats in here who says they don't want to have them and don't like kids.... Because there is nothing worse to me than a parent who doesn't really like their own kid and resents having them and treat them like a purse or pair of shoes... I've seen it way to many times and that sh!t makes me sad...

I had my son when I was 18 so being a parent is all I've known in my adult life and even though I have accomplished quite a bit, nothing even comes close to seeing your kids flourish and become good people and you being able to prevent them from making the same mistakes you might have made...

I'll be 36 in a couple of days. I didn't want kids when I was younger and still don't want any.

Why? They cost too much and they take too much time to care for.

I love being an uncle but that's where it stops for me.
