I don’t understand why people with kids get so upset when people say they don’t want kids
It doesn’t seem like he’s promoting that he just said what works best for his relationship.
I feel like people with kids, do more promoting/judging, than those without

It reminds them of a decision they could have made but didn't, an option they can never have again.

I don't see the issue. If you don't want children don't have them. It's that simple.

Meh, you see it that way because you don’t have kids so you look at it from that perspective. I don’t see many threads or articles telling people they need to have kids, but I do see a lot threads and interviews in general of people boasting about how they don’t want them, and that’s when the back and forth starts. I can search your name with “kids” in the title and see at least 10 threads from you telling us how bad you don’t want kids.
So dont rely on your own kids but rely on cousins (if you even have them), and ‘other family members’ who may be long gone by then. Yea that makes sense
‘Rely on a community of friends’. Yea a community of friends that you can’t even relate to bc they’re out doing family things. Do you know how awkward it is to grow older and everybody else is a parent and/or married. And you just there like that’s what’s up
‘A mentee’yea you can’t trust your own kids but you can trust some random you talked to every once in a while. They’re gonna look at you like who this weirdo
The logic I tell you
I know this may be hard for you to comprehend, but not making anyone the single source of reliance for companionship in old age is the best strategy, and eliminates a single source of failure.
You may not be knowledgeable of this as your lineage is sickly or in jail or something, but the old people in my life don't just have their children pop in on them. They live in communities with peers in similar , they have mentees who check in on them, they have similarly aged family members around, and they have nieces and nephews and grand children...
No need to speak on something life has been cruel to keep from you.

But thecoli told me you should want kids because they will take care of you when you're
And?these people will scream they are childfree then turn around and try to argue that pets are just like children & they are fur moms and fur dads who deserve the same rights (tax breaks, gifts for their kids, celebration during mothers day) as others with kids
he's rich. he can afford a nanny or for his wife to be a stay-at-home mom.
I don’t think they are boasting though I think they are just explaining what works for them and people such as yourself with kids get triggered.
It’s like clockwork
And the bolded is what I think is the real reason why most people don’t want kids, and that’s fine.
I believe when people add on all those other reasons for not wanting kids its usually just as an attempt to not seem like some selfish and shallow individuals.
Hold the fukk up. It was a poster in this thread that said he wanted kids so they could take care of him when he's older how is that not selfish?
Most parents have kids for selfish and shallow reasons like them just being horny in the moment and not planning for the child, wanting their own legacy, they think a child will save their marriage/relationship, attention, someone to boss around and do house chores, some couples keep having kids until they get their preferred gender child, some couples do it because they're unhappy and believe it's the child's job to make them happy. Ya'll project so hard.

What’s more selfish than having a child that will only take up more resources?

Society thinks if someone chooses not to live like you, they are claiming you didn’t do the right thing in life. If someone doesn’t want kids, then they shouldn’t be parents just because they feel obligated. There are men and women who simply don’t want that responsibility.
