Motherhood, or fatherhood, has NEVER been an obligation in the world I was brought up in. It was always a choice. There's more than enough people on the planet, and those who choose not to reproduce for whatever reasons should never feel or think they've let somebody down.
Eeeeh, well. You ever heard about the population crisis in Japan?
In most ways, what you said is true. But in the future for other countries that are about to lose population fast, it may become an obligation. Sad as it is, it may also carry over here as population rates plummet.
@Jayplays900 As automation takes over, there are going to be fewer jobs available anyway. Japan is experiencing a 6% drop in birth rates. If the same happened in the USA, that would equate to 20 million people based on a population of 330 million. You think the USA would suddenly have an issue if its population dropped to 310 million? I think not.
Hm, you may be right.
I'd have no interest in a woman if she didn't want to have kids.
by the way, many women that say they don't want kids, later in life they often do change their minds, but then it is often too late.
Whatever.
I would respect it. I don't really have much choice in the matter. Only she can decide if she wants kids and I would honor whatever decision she ultimately came up with.
It is a choice and if any woman is in a relationship that the man is forcing her. She needs to get out of the relationship now
Of course it's a choice but this picture is daft. Saying "you'll change your mind" does not imply any of that other nonsense, people who say that are parents (women) speaking from personal experience.
My mom has never said that, it's always relative or friends 😣
Of course it can be a choice, Some People can't have kid's and some People don't want to but it's not an obligation to anyone because nobody has to have kid's, It can just be difficult when your partner wants kid's and you don't or vice versa.
There is no law that you have to have kid's or not.
I respect a woman's choice about whether to be a mother, but it's still a deal breaker for me. I want to have children with my wife so I would not marry a woman who doesn't want to be a mother.
Motherhood is an obligation if you have a child... Before that it's a choice. It's cool to not want to have children, however you should bring this up in the first few dates you have with a man. It is a deal breaker for many men.
True.
yes, I love my children but they were handfuls as they grew up but it's not my body that gains the weight and stretch marks and changes a lot as a result of the children and their birth.
well there's always that how about nurse-midwife at the house try not to have a baby in the hospital if you can avoid it
Yes motherhood is a choice, no one should be forced into it, and it's crazy to bring kids into today's world anyways.
Make your own mind up about things. We are all unique and yes it's a choice. Theories like the one in your picture are just as patronizing as the reverse of it.
Yes, absolutely.
It just would end up me deciding wether or not i would stay with her or find someone with whom i may have children.
It's your choice if you have kids or not. But once you have a kid, I think the choice has already been made. I don't
think you can choose to back out a year later.
If the base of the relationship for one or both is to have kids then that is okay. If one doesn't want kids then no point if being in a relationship with the other person. Better to end it and find someone else.
Definitely it is a choice, but some men do love parenting, so it's better they speak up during dating phase
No see if she didn’t want kids then she wouldn’t be my partner. That’s literally the only thing women being to a relationship.
Directly answering your question, yes, I agree that it is a choice, not an obligation. But I don't agree with any of the points in the picture you provided.
I totally agree to these statements.
I don't want kids and my girlfriend neither 👍👍
I would!!! The world has to many nasty ass kids anyways. Lol. I just don’t like kid’s. Lol
