Forgive the partial copy paste, but I've answered this question from others many times before, and there is no point to rewriting the entire thing.
They are a lifelong commitment to problems with no benefits unless you enjoy parenting (and I do not).I don't want to have to clean up someone else's messes, I hate bad smells, I don't want to suffer from irreplacable property damage to my stuff, I don't want to lose any sleep, and I don't want a reduction to my free time.
I don't want limitations on what I can have or do in my own home just to make it child friendly (ie no exotic pets, no sharp objects, no open electronic devices, no workshop tools or machines, no porn, no violent games or movies, etc.).
I don't want to help someone learn their schoolwork or language or other life basics, as it makes me feel like I'm starting over. And lastly, I don't want to be in charge of anyone, pay for anyone else, or worry about anyone else doing stupid things.There is also the possibility that they will be nothing like me and we won't get along, and normally I just shut those people out of my life, but you can't do that with your own child (or at least I never would).
I prefer being around people who are gifted intellectually and talented/skilled who share my hobbies and interests, dealing with anyone else is frustrating, and there is the chance that my kid may not be high functioning or have my taste in entertainment or studies.
It is fine if you disagree with any or all of this, at least some people need to disagree with the value of my viewpoints for the species to continue, but I'm not interested in that responsibility myself.

Nobody ever says why do you not want a helicopter pilot's license. Children are the only thing where you have to prove a negative. Why do I not want any? Because I lack any inherent desire to have one. It's just that simple.
It's mainly because I'm never suppose to have any kids. This also includes adoption. I'm not mentally & emotionally capable of taking care of kids & raising them. I learned with one child development class in high school that I would never be able to take care of a baby long term, which is good for me since before I was considering it. But I have lots of nieces & nephews to enjoy so I'm fine with it. I just question what it would be like with my future partner, since we wouldn't have kids what we'd do with our time together. Much different from all of my sisters & their husbands.
Lots of reasons. They cost a lot of money, they're messy, noisy, loud and hard to control. They're a huge responsibility, a huge investment over a very long period of time. They're not guaranteed to turn out right, and one fatal mistake could send them onto the path of becoming a radical nutcase who ends up joining a terrorist group like BLM. There's also the chance they may end up with an incurable and untreatable mental illness like autism, which would be catastrophic. No, it's just not worth it, it's too big a gamble.

I get lazy about trimming my nails and then inevitably jam my finger against something which results in the nail being torn off or otherwise damaged.
Because, not everyone likes them.
Kids are extremely time consuming, stressful and are indeed expensive.
They are a huge lifelong commitment and responsibility.
They are loud, messy, annoying, throw tantrums, etc and i do not have the patience!
I don’t want to clean up after their messes, or change diapers.
I value my sleep and enjoy sleeping in and would not want to wake up through the night for a baby.
Money is important to me, and this economy is horrible as it is!
I don’t want to be pregnant or let alone even give birth.
I would go mad having to be a SAHM. I would feel “trapped” and bored out of my mind doing the same crap every single day.
I don’t want the baggage of kids if my husband left me.
I don’t want to be tied down to someone else, or let alone be tied down to the baby daddy.
I enjoy freedom and being able to do whatever i want, whenever i please without having to work my entire life around my childs schedule.
Kids require parents who can mold them into successful people period.
Too many irresponsible people have kids. Having a kid doesn’t make you “special”
I lack the “motherly instinct” when it comes to them.
I can’t handle noises, or constant messes or having someone glued at my hip.
Hmmm what else can i list?
I don’t want to be a “maid” basicallyI value my career, my continuing education, my solo lifestyle, and my other commitments (volunteering, studies, family support, etc) to ever have children. I rather live my life enjoying it with a partner, and travel, live a stable, financially stable, emotionally, mentally and physically healthy relationship, without letting kids into my life.
I do not want children. I'm not interested in raising a family, or having the responsibility for the rest of my life of being a mother. I cannot stand young children, I do not have the patience or the time to supply a child with, as I am busy with my OWN aspirations. I have one life, once chance to do everything I'd like to accomplish and I'm not letting any child have ANY portion of my life. There are too many people in the world already, and society, and the economy isn't getting any better - I see no point to having kids.
I do not and will not ever have children because...1. I'm asexual
2. Father's are irrelevant to the family unit because of politics and feminism
3. Children are often used by the mother against the father
4. Women are the ones who get to decide whether or not a man is worthy of being a father and if she deems him unworthy she'll have his child aborted and he can't do anything about it
5. If the father didn't want the child she could choose to still have said child and he would be essentially baby trapped and forced to pay child support or risk going to jailCuz we’re not allowed to beat them anymore. Kids need ass whoopins like fish need water. Everyone is raising entitled twats now because nobody will discipline their little shits when it’s appropriate. Make no mistake about it, mom & dad, YOUR kids are the reason we’re going to hell in a hand basket. Ell oh ell!
I have three. They SEVERELY circumscribe what we can do. Plus with the world being the way it is why would anybody bring people into this shit hole? In every survey the most consistently happy people are gay couples because they have no children and all this disposable income as a generalization
Personally I have no interest. And I think that’s the reason for all the bad parenting and antisocial teens. Lack of engaged parents.
Also I think pollution is a problem and having kids is worse than letting your cars idle all your life whilst burning a pile of tires in the back.
Because a lot of people both men and women are not mature enough to handle having children how I know is because they can’t even pick the right partner. I prefer to never have kids if I’m not married than have kids by some man who doesn’t want to be with me.
1. I don’t want to experience pregnancy or giving birth.
2. I don’t even like kids.
Expense. Hassle. The wife could always divorce me or cheat on me. External variables. (Other people, dangerous people, stupid offspring who may get themselves into trouble others), injuries, life's unpredictable cons, etc
It seems like fascism is inevitable and I would be sad if I had kids who were just starting to show an interest in the world as the Christian nationalists set everything back to the dark ages.
I don't want the responsibility of raising them and if they're anything like me, they'd prefer to have never been born in the first place.
I have been careful, about what I wish for. Had I been a father in my 20's with a dedicated and responsible woman in support, we could have been successful parents with great children.
I don’t want to stuck with someone the rest of my life and I don’t want my body to change
Because I'm not good with young children. I just can't develop a connection to them.
I want to live my life for myself, not somebody else
Don't need a reason. Why would you think anyone would need a reason for not wanting kids. Why would anyone want kids?
They are expensive and a gigantic burden. I'm not made for this and i'll keep myself from things i wasn't made for.
bc i don't wanna fuck them up
people shouldn't have kids unless they are readyI'm sterile. I also do not want to get married because the laws are biased against the one who has assets / earning power, even if the other person breaks the contract.
