Why do people have such a problem with people who dont want kids?

Like Apple said; someone will always find a way to have a problem with anything.

From what I've seen, it seems like the issue is that a lot of the people who say they don't want kids end up having them anyway, and they find the experience more rewarding than they expected.

So, it's less of a "you'll regret not having kids," and more of a 'life has many twists, turns and side quests, so don't be afraid to run down a path that you weren't expecting to be presented with.

Because in their eyes, having kids was the best thing ever, so they think everybody should want to have children someday. Or they had kids because it was what was expected of them--they weren't told that having kids was a choice. But I'll be honest with you here: If you think or have already decided that having kids aren't for you, then do not have them. All of my sisters have kids, but parenthood isn't for me. I'd rather pick the small sadness of never having kids over a huge struggle with taking care of them any day. And in the end, I'm glad I don't have any kids. Because I know what it'd be like for me, and it would not be good. I got my "Yay! No babies!" surgery this week and I know I won't regret it in the future.

because they believe people not having kids are selfish because they refuse to cut down their comfort

Usually parents complained they want grandchildren. They feel like you are killing the family making it extinct.

i mean, isn't it better for earth that we all die out? like we’ve already fucked it up and now we’re fucking it up more? isn't it good we go extinct? we do no good on this earth

That is really a good question. Such people are stereotypes and traditional in their thought process.

The purpose of people is to make more people.

[chocolatetwopointo]

we’re like 10 billion people, who cares if a few won't have kids?

[MrChinaski]

Fair

[Apple1996]

People have a problem with everything. I get hate for having too many kids lol

[Bricealan]

@chocolatetwopointo Heck I like kids... if they're cooked right !!!

It's the cultural idea of the "perfect" family. BS and a double standard.

Senseis need new students and pediatricians need new patients, so it's all about m1y

They don't have interesting lives.
