Would you choose not to have kids if they were going to be a setback in your career?

Yes

No

Children shouldn’t be a set back in life or a career path, it’s your choice of the partner you choose to spend your life with that will more likely be a setback to your personal growth.
A lot of women in history that came from worse had a supportive husband and family, they had children, and still managed to make history thanks to their supportive partner.

I love my babies, I am willing to go to the end of the world for them. Although, things are difficulty choosing a career but they are my priorities, doesn’t mean I stop prioritizing myself.

[GOLDFISH_smile]

No. My main life goal was always kids. If it meant I couldn't pursue ANY career at all then that would be a harder decision, bc I do also want to do other things with my life ofc, but if being mom just had to be the main thing and the rest was side things that'd be fine by me.

As a guy, the main point of a career is to get better mating options. If you find a girl you'd like to be in a long term relationship with, then lock that down. Often times kids will result. But at the point career matters much less anyway, so who cares?

A decision to have kids and raise a family us nit an eady one. One has to decide what us more important, career or family. And that is not a black and white decision.

[Jessica405]

Yes. No , kids, ever. I spent 7 years at various unis to get where I wanted to be. I am now a research engineer with an excellent salary, as is my partner. Student loans now paid off, so what we earn is ours. We are not going to give that up to bring up kids.

You should not use negatives in a yes or no question.
In your question, "Yes" means "Yes I would not have kids", and "No" means "No. I would".
We're confused as to what to click.

I gave up ever having a career to be able to raise my kids full time. For me it's worth it but I have a good enough partner who likes being a provider so it works out

[midnightmoon05]

I stayed home with my 2 babies for 3 years then back to work… was great! They are all grown and wonderful. All worthy.

[DrPepper12]

As a teen, NO WAY! I don't need that scene.

In my 30s I would have told you to GFY cuz babies are awesome!

In 50s I would give it serious consideration.

[exitseven]

no, i was never a big career guy anyway. I define myself as a parent and a marathon runner. Being a network engineer is just a way to make money.

[LiamJHayden]

I wish laws surrounding marriage were equitable and that I were not sterile, but since they are not and I am, I won't be having kids in an event.

[anon1903]

I'm not going to have kids for the sake of the planet

[CB-Raido-Time]

That makes no sense. What does having children have to do with the planet, other than living on it?

[anon1903]

Overpopulation is causing environmental degradation.

[anon1903]

Ever heard of global warming, dear?

[CB-Raido-Time]

Yeah I've heard of it and it's fake they are brainwashing you. You see my age here? The weather nor the climate has changed one single bit since I was born. We not over populated either that's another of their lies.

[anon1903]

@CB-Raido-Time ok.

[bobby_bush_eater]

That's something that is factored in, id sacrifice my personal career ambitions in a heartbeat for a family though

[Crazzyyworld]

white people need more babies. make some more.

[gag6474]

let me get organized first before having a baby lol

[strateguy632]

One kid is enough

[Babygirl_S]

I would prioritise having kids 👶🏻👶🏼👶

[CB-Raido-Time]

Children are more important than a career.

[noohair]

Kids are not an accessory.

[RedInnocent69]

No, I don’t really think it works like that.

[Ladsin2]

Nope
