This is the ultimate answer.
Almost every person in a retirement home or nursing home has children. Let’s remove that from the list of reasons please. There are others.Ask old heads with no children whether they should of had a child
Old and frail with no one to look after them or stuck in some hell hole retirement home
Some of y'all think you'll be in great shape and perfect health even at 70+

Live on scraps to get by and lose many of your prime years to raising kids in hopes they even bother to try and take care of you when you’re 80.That's why you make sure you're a good father and have a good relationship with them along with letting them see YOU looking after their grandparents in their elderly age as they're growing up
A lot you childless folk are gonna get that wake up call when y'all hit older age
If you don’t want them don’t have them. You don’t need to explain your decisions or thought process.

It’s much more than that. It’s just other things I’ve seen thru life from friends/fam/acquaintances that told me to wait for the right situation for children, and that ultimately has never materialized. Have to find the right partner, right time from a financial and professional standpoint etc. not everyone has that mindset obviously or no one would have kids. But it’s a real struggle for many and the struggle can be directly tied to when they had a kid. I’ve had several friends drop out of school due to having kids. Had co workers lose out on jobs or promotions because they aren’t reliable due to their kids needing shyt that took them away from the workplace. Friends have had kids and their relationships with their significant other splintered due to the stress and that made raising a child even more difficult. Friends who’s lives pretty much ended because they had a kid with a disability. Friends that lost their entire social circle due to not being able to have any personal time for themselves. Not to mention the personal and financial added stress day to day. None of that sounds remotely appealing to me. There are significant road bumps in life to overcome that stem directly from popping a kid out at the wrong time and it just never felt right for me. I enjoy spending time with my nephews but also enjoy the peace and life security when I get to send them back to mom and dad

Interesting seeing the juxtaposition of black people online who don't want kids and black people online talking about black genocide via abortion clinics and us needing to increase our population
I'm pro fewer people in general
But it does seem like the more intelligent people are the ones smart enough to either have no kids or 1 child while the lesser people are the ones having the most kids. When you include the likelihood that a lot of childless people are better employed with the cost savings of not raising a child I worry about the stratification of classes being accelerated

Kids are mad expensive B. I've heard stories of daycare costs exceeding mortgages...
As for me, I like not having to worry about anyone but myself. A part of me does kind of want a kid with the right one but what I'm looking for is basically a unicorn and at 31 it might not come about.

To answer the OP’s question in the title, there is a handbook of arguments.

They charge what they want because they know a lotta folks get help paying all or nearly all of it. Guranteed money.
If you make it a racial issue that's even worst for your argument imo bruh because majority of the children in the AA community are born out of wedlock. Last I check the numbers were over 50% or something. So a lot of times nikkas don't even have the disposable income to even look after their elders with the care they need.And I bet most people at the old folk shelter were... cacs
We know cacs and their family dynamic
Now not taking cacs into account why wouldn't a child want to look after their parents in elderly age if they have a good relationship with them?, only a selfish child would have a problem with that and see it as a burden
Your parents in this dynamic are the ones who raised and provided for you when they were under no obligation to do so. Plenty of deadbeats regard being forced or told to provide for their children as "selfish", are they correct?
You're correct nobody knows when they're gonna die. But in general the average lifepsan has increased and people are living for longer.
And you can raise a child right but that's no guarantee they will be your caretake when you're older. You could be thrown into a position where you might have to be there caretaker for life

I have 3 little kids that are my pride and joy. Love playing games with them. Puzzles video games, reading books. But it’s a lot of responsibilities and money spent too, so I don’t think nobody should feel they need to obligate themselves to do that. And I can’t stand parents that wanna make people who don’t have kids feel like they less just because they don’t want children. When they really only mad they got freedoms they don’t. Able to do what they plz without having to answer to anyone else outside of maybe a spouse. 2 sides to the coin. No one should feel obliged and neither is anyone less of a good person if they don’t have them
THERE IS NO EXCUSE
ONE OF THE BIGGEST DEEDS, WHICH IS AN OBLIGATION FOR US, IS TO REPLENISH THE EARTH WITH MORE LIFE
CHILDREN ARE A BLESSING AND NOT WANTING ANY TO ME FALLS IN LINE WITH HOMOSEXUALITY .. JUST UNNATURAL

Why did you post that. Have you never heard of a vasectomy? Do you think it’s a sin? I have two kids and had a vasectomy after. And I’m married. Lol
