How can people have kids is the question here


Worrying about their health
Worrying about their future


Covering all their costs of living
Putting them through school


Or choosing to do none of that and becoming a deadbeat parent


Honestly a childless relationship sounds way more fun
Taking trips, staying out late, walking naked around the house, having social and active lifestyles
The list goes on


And yes some people thrive better by being parents
But not everyone


I personally think if you want a kid you should be able to afford a kid


Procreation is easy to do


But giving your offspring a decent life is another matter
And frankly every kid deserves a chance
(Even though so many never get one)

[MisterWack]

You are telling me with a straight face, trying to find the perfect match who will 100% put in the same effort you will for that child in a safe, happy, and respectable environment is less important than just getting knocked up.

Okay, then you get one of those baby dolls that cries whenever it is hungry and when it needs a diaper change then add up the costs of living. Rent, diapers, toys, food, and take all that into account and consideration before judging others.

This economy is tough as it is man, now compare the loneliness epidemic on top of that.

[Amy_Mi]

Because not everyone measures love by offspring.

Some measure it by depth, not duration, by how two souls evolve, not by how many lives they create.

Maturity isn’t rushing into milestones, it’s choosing alignment over expectation.

Some couples want to build each other first before they build a family.

And honestly, that’s not avoiding growth, that’s defining it.

[DishLady]

I don’t believe we should be overly concerned by people who know better than to reproduce when they’re not ready or willing to raise kids. They’re wiser than those who carelessly reproduce then don’t appreciate their kids (or toss the kids to third-party caretakers rather than raising them properly as active parents.

[Finchie40]

My kind of relationship considering I already had kids’ and I got fixed, so no more baby making for me , and no more worrying about condoms , for the most part. Dating is still fun and worth it , because her and I can spoil each other and travel the world and spend quality time together time together inside the bedroom and outside the bedroom

[ohsheeT]

It's a choice they are responsible. They know what they want. They know how to get it so they go after and they go with the plan

That doesn't mean that they don't have sex. They are responsible

[Purpleronnie]

I’m sure you must mean why because choosing not to do something is a very simple concept.


Choosing not to have children is a form of “free will” , you know , the whole make choices and determine your own actions thing 🤣… and they may choose not have children for a variety of reasons none of which need to have anything to do with your choice or anyone else’s. Free will is a pretty basic concept.


Reasons could be financial freedom , flexibility in lifestyle or purely because they don’t want to parent a child.


Choosing to bring someone into the world , parent them , to nurture , support , love , protect, raise them etc shouldn’t be done because it may relieve “boredom”… that’s ridiculous.


A persons life can be about so much more other that a binary choice of dating forever or having a child to stave off the boredom.

I never wanted kids. Yichh.

All my girlfriends were on the pill to prevent unwanted pregnancy until they were ready.

My wife and I have been married for 29 years, had LOTS of fun and built a wonderful life together. We're glad we don't have kids.

[Asker]

Narcissist

[Lliam]

I hate to think of someone like you having kids.

[Asker]

IDGAF what you think. you're extinct

[Lliam]

My wife and I are still going strong. I have a feeling your life will be a failure.

[Asker]

if your gay ass had any influence over it I'm sure it would old dork

[Lliam]

Nope. You'll do it all by yourself.

[RavVid]

It is non-viable for men unless you want to be impoverished. Divorced with children is the worst life outcome and it is more than 70% certain you will lose the game.

Overall putting all you have and will earn on red or black in a single roll of a roulette wheel is a better life strategy.

[Screenwriter]

They use successful birth control and don't want children.

There's nothing wrong with making such a choice, just because it isn't yours.

[mysteriousNicholas]

Lol I only want a girlfriend/wife - like a modern couple who never has offspring yet always just enjoys being "just the two of us" and lovemaking and enjoying life together. Without the hassle of having to breed, world's overpopulated as it is lol 😆

[Anonymous]

I don't blame them. Kids can be a lot of work and not everyone is willing to put in that work. Plus kids are irreversible so if you regret kids there's no going back unless you put them up for adoption or are of one those parents who run away from home, both which are usually looked down upon. And also, some people just don't like kids at all in general. Myself included. I never liked kids even when I was one myself.

[WellBye]

Whoever told you that having kids makes a relationship fun was lying.

[exitseven]

Kids are not for every one. Lots of people like the idea of being able to take nice vacations, drive new cars and not have the responsibility of kids.

[jazzy34]

Many couples choose to be child free. Not everyone wants children.

[bunnyboo24]

I have no idea.. if im with someone it will be for one goal. To get married and build a family

[Hghhhhhhhhhh]

I’m gonna say this as nicely as I can: if you think the reason to have kids is to “spice up a relationship” you are NOT ready to have kids

[Unap0logetic_]

I don't know the people who live child free definitely have fun lives too.

[Anonymous]

I'm sorry you find yourself so boring that you think a life with you would be boring asf unless there are kids running around.

We ain't all dull fuckers like you.

[Nonamez]

Same minded people who doesn't want kids can live together for the rest of them life's

[Flower7]

So you feel like more people should become single parents?

[CupOfCoffee6]

Sounds fun. I mean, traveling off-seas and being spontaneous.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Once you have a child especially if you're a woman life takes a significant change as your life now is bound to a child 24/7.

Some people see that reality and say screw it.

[msc545]

This is easy. Many people know that while it is not as cute and it won't take care of you in your old age, it is a lot more fun and cheaper than kids.

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend and I agreed we'd wait until we're in our 30's to have kids. We're just fine without them right now.

[Nerdvana]

It's what they want and they are happy with that decision.

[Staximus]

Having kids is not everybody's life goal anymore. Everybody doesn't need 6 free laborers on pappy's dirt farm.

[soe11]

• Ww love without, it's great fun, lust and free from stress.

[Smegskull]

I think because relationships have sort of become a thing of leisure and fun rather than necessity and goals.

[jahaims]

You don't have a healthy relationship if you need kids to make it worth while

[AngryCarl2]

Regular sex without worrying about the kids overhearing or walking in on them.

[beefcakebradybatson]

They don't want brats spoiling their fun !!!

[Godihateyou]

Low sperm count? We practiced safe sex and we had 2 kids in 6 years. 3 in 11. Whoops.

[seeyounexttuesday]

Why would you date for years and never get married?

[Twalli]

I don't want kids, I will get married, but I'm not in any rush.

[HighSchoolCustodian]

It seems to cause divorce’s cause the children might be in bed with the parents. Cause irritation then they have a bad day.

[Anonymous]

You sound indescribably ignorant. Some people can’t have them, some don’t want them, some can’t afford them.
All the above?
You sound incredibly easy to influence. 🐑

[Anonymous]

Because having kids isn’t fun

[DrPepper12]

I got this! Birth control for the win!

[236color]

How do they do it? Birth control.

[LiamJHayden]

Costs. More life restrictions

[MJVillarama]

Some people just really love the freedom!

[zagor]

Birth control. Or menopause.

[Crankor]

They are usually the smart ones.

[beenherebefore]

Birth control.

[Asker]

so you can turn 35 and decide to finally grow up and have kids, so they can be 20 when you're 60

[Anonymous]

I think it's kind of strange.

[Butterfly38142]

I would ideally marry before kids
