In the situation the planet is in now, I applaud you for not wanting to have kids!! I think that the age we live in, it's our duty as a mass-destructing species to not breed. Our species have grown from 1.5b to 7b people in roughly 100 years, the planet is overpopulated by humans.
We have to severely lower our numbers, to benefit other earthlings and the whole planet in general.
What sucks about when women don't want kids is the fact that they won't tie your tubes until you're like 40. They just won't do it.
I would want to get my tubes tied when I turn 20 since I DO NOT want kids EVER, but no doctor would perform the operation.
You're 16, of course you don't want kids, I wouldn't either at your age or even the age that I am now. Honestly, kids should be the last thing on your mind, if people are already talking about having kids at your age, then they seriously need a reality check. Get an education, start a career, buy a home and get married. Finding Mr. Right alone takes some time.
If you don't want kids then don't have kids and if you decide later you want kids, then have kids. Everyone's going to have an opinion, but it's not up to them to make decisions for you. I know it's a lot of pressure to handle, but it's your own choice to have kids or not have kids.
I don't have any problem with it- a baby hampers your career and life in many ways, and for some those can be put aside for the longing for a baby while others not. Although I was pissed when someone replied to a comment of mine saying he did not want shit and piss, crying machine anytime. You cannot talk about them like that- you were once a baby!
I've never had the idea that al women want to have kids and I'm not sure I want kids either, right now I'm on no but it might change later of course. If you don't want kids I think that's totally fine, I don't think you have to do anything because most people do it that's not a reason.
I've been saying I don't want kids since I've been about your age. And people STILL don't fully believe me to this day.
Like, yes I get baby fever sometimes. But that doesn't change my stance.
Personally, I get puppy fever haha
Keep hanging in there... as you inch closer to 30 people will finally start to accept that if your clock hasn't started ticking at this point it ain't gonna start... such a fucking relief!! I still get chided now and again by nosy middle aged women but for the most part I have at least stopped getting the "you'll change you mind when you're older" bullshit.
I wish there were more of you when I was dating in my 20s/30s because by mid 30s some girls would bring up the biological clock ticking within the first month of dating as they didn't want to waste any time.
Sadly, I find some couples having kids more out of "boredom" and to keep the marriage going.
I am much the same as you on this - Society's fascination with settling down and having kids is surely none of their concern but a personal choice - Like you don't know how you will feel in years to come so if you don't know how can people decide for you - It might sound a bit overlordy but it is a form of society of trying to control you saying you must want these normal things.
yup i feel it! i dont understand why its like a mandatory thing to some people. i used to want kids but now that im getting older and realizing how much of a responsibility that is, and how painful it would be, it is just not worth it. and that does not make me an evil heartless person! i help raise 2 of my cousins, and sometimes babysit 3 other cousins. love them to death, but do not want my own kids.
You have every right to decide whether you want a family or not, whether you want an husband or not. I understand how you feel now but never say never, you're only 16, it's kinda silly to say "I will never do this thing". Honestly I have no intention of having kids right now and I don't think I will have in the next few years, but I'm not saying "I will never want kids" because I learnt that life and experience might change your mind sometimes.
It really irks me that I warm to the idea of kids just a little bit with every year that passes as an adult. Like the logical side of my brain can think of a million reasons why I really DON'T want kids.. but then the instinctive side of my brain feels like it needs something to take care of.
Its so weird.
That being said I really doubt I ever will
Hey lady, you, lady, cursin' at your life
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about the things you never do
But I wish someone had a talk to me like I wanna talk to you
Ooh I've been to Georgia and California, and, anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacherman and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
Please lady, please, lady, don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived a million lies
Oh I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece
Where I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things
That a woman ain't s'posed to see
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie
A fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding, and it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight. That's truth, that's love
Sometimes I've been to cryin' for unborn children
That might have made me complete
But I, I took the sweet life and never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that cost too much to be free
Hey lady, I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
I've been to paradise - never been to me
(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise - never been to me
I feel you so much! People just tell me it's only cause I'm not ready. But I keep telling them it's not true, I don't want to get pregnant, give birth or raise a child. That doesn't mean I am a bad person, or that I hate children. I want to end up with someone and grow old together but I don't want us to have a child.
I totally respect your decision and it does not make you any less of a woman.
I love your username
Thanks! Personally I will have kids eventfully but I want to travel the world and get an education. Having kids during those times will weigh me down
haha I understand and you're welcome
I've never wanted kids, I don't even like them that much. good for you, realizing that you don't want then and there's nothing wrong with it. Finding a girl who doesn't want kids is just as hard as finding one who doesn't already have 2 or 3. I'll date within 10 years of my age, and even lots of 29 year old around here have a bunch.
"I don't want kids!"

Yet you read the mytake and searched for that gif.
If you dgaf then gtfo
hahahahahah did I just give you PTSD?
LOL wow I don't see how that plays into any of what I said but K.
When I'm in my mid 20s I would think about having kids, not because I necessarily want to have them just because I feel that I would need to have kids to fulfil my purpose in life (to repopulate) plus I'm an only child therefore I would want to give my parents then chance to become grandparents
Your a kid. You honestly think nothing changes as you get older? What you think and believe in is going to seem ridiculous in a few years time. By the time your my age you'll look back on now and laugh at yourself. Nobody wants kids at 16. I didn't. I've got 2 now and they're the best thing that could have happened to me. Nothings more important in this world than creating and sustaining life
LOL I never said that I wouldn't EVER change my mind- I MIGHT want kids in the future. That's nice for you. That's not how it's gonna be for me.
Trust me you don't have a clue. You could end up with the love of you life and want to have his kids. Then again you could end up a nun or anything. People think they plan life. Life plans you. My ex was away to dj in Australia, I was planning on leaving town as well. We met in a gig slept together and she ended up pregnant. Plans out the window. I'd rather cut my arm off than abort any of my kids so we made a go of it and our lives were set. That's how easy it happens.
Hun, I KNOW this. I may be young but I've had a harsh life and I know I can't plan life but that doesn't mean I'm not going to set goals. My goals are hard to achieve with the situation I'm in now, but kids? Forget about those goals, gotta change them all if I have a little creature. Again, that's cool for you. But I don't plan on having unprotected sex with anyone ever until I decide that I want a child. I know condoms break and birth control doesn't always work but it's better than nothing. I don't even plan on having sex anytime soon AT ALL as I am a virgin. Again, I DID state I MAY change my mind in the future but I don't know, I MIGHT not. I MIGHT adopt 3 cats and 8 dogs. Who the fuck knows?
Now this is my decision and I'd appreciate it if you didn't try to tell me I'd change my mind. I KNOW I may change my mind but I also may not.
God you young girls hate being contradicted don't you. It's a major flaw that. A closed mind never learns anything. Do what you want. You say maybe I say definetely. You can only guess at what's ahead. I've been there.
lol K
A friend gave me this fridge magnet. So funny!
