Childless people: Does the thought of remaining childless bother you?

Question

Lliam · Accepted Answer

Nope. I never had any interest in kids. I didn't want to be tied down with the responsibility or expense. I didn't want the inevitable drama, conflict, worry or heartbreak. I don't even think they are that cute.

I had long-term girlfriends from the time I was 16 but had no interest in marriage, either. I didn't thinking about finding a life-long partner, getting married and settling down until my early 30s.

My wife and I have been married for 28 years. She would have been a wonderful mommy. But we have talked about it and are both glad that we don't have any kids.

The world has become dystopian over the past 25 years and we feel sorry for kids now days. Even though they have no way of knowing it, their lives are a living hell compared to when we were growing up.

It bothers and depresses me tbh.

In my entire life I have only dated one woman who would of been a good wife/mother. But I tragically met her at the wrong time in my life. It makes me hate the universe at times but it is what it is.

Had we met just two years later I would put a ring on it and started a family. However I admit I’ve checked up on her on IG from time to time. I would of thought she would of settled down with someone else. But instead she made friends with the wrong crowd and radically changed (she got involved with radical feminism bs). Not sure if that should relieve or depress me.

Nope. If you don't have the ability to raise babies & take care of them, it's better to not have kids at all. And putting them up for adoption isn't always a gurantee they'll find a family either (I'd hate that). I'm wanting my tubes to be burned so that way I can't get pregnant and don't run into any situations of pregnancy, birth, and abortions. Plus, I have disabilities and mental health issues I wouldn't want a child to have. If I had the ability to be a mother, I'd definitely have babies, but I know I can't be one (it isn't a good idea). But I have nieces & nephews that I love! 💖

I’ve been too focused on myself to think about having kids but people I know make me feel guilty about it because I’m not following what other people my age are doing. Usually when someone tries to make a point starting with “Most people…” I say “Well I’m not most people. I’m me.”

For some childless individuals, the thought of remaining childless may evoke mixed feelings. Some may experience societal pressure or personal regrets about not having children, worrying about aging without family or missing out on the experience of parenthood. Others may feel at peace with their decision or circumstances, valuing freedom, career, or personal pursuits over raising children. For many, the choice or reality of being childless is deeply personal, shaped by factors like lifestyle preferences, health, or environmental concerns. Ultimately, the feelings surrounding childlessness vary widely, with fulfillment being found in many aspects of life beyond parenthood.

They made their choice.
Can’t blame them for making a choice in this lifetime and instead of peering through their windows going snooping around -> Mind Your Own Damn Business!

It could be for financial, mental, health well being, struggles with addiction, afraid of dying leaving the child with a single parent or some other reason…. Simply put: Mind Your Own Damn Business!

It would not - if I was active sexually - for me life would be filling the void of just loving my romantic partner woman and just enjoying the joy of life that is hobbies, work, money, family, friends and if I had had it, a hot woman ♀️

Not at all. Quite happy not having children. If I'm ever blessed with them, I will absolutely love them endlessly. Until then, we're happy as we are

Pah! I worry about my own survival before i can really think of it. How people pop kids, that they can't feed (like my parents did) is beyond me.

The thought of each couple not coming up with 2.1 kids (averaged out , of course) bothers me. The maintenance of the countries' populations demand it.
