Anyone else don't want kids?

proudtexasgirl
Is there anyone else on this site that does not have kids and does not want kids? I don't mean don't want kids in the near future; I mean you don't want kids ever. Seems like the "norm" is to grow up, get married, start popping out babies- not necessarily in that order. I've of course faced a lot of "oh you're too young, wait til you're older" or "you'll change your mind" or whatever other inconsiderate and ignorant comments. I have also been told that it's selfish which to me makes no sense- I am not REQUIRED to have kids. I also love when people say that they want children to help take care of them when they grow old- that seems pretty dang selfish to me. Without kids, I'll have plenty of money to hire people to take care of me if I need.

I do absolutely love SOME kids. I will be honest and say that I don't like all kids. The idea of having my own though does not interest me at all though. It actually really turns me off. If I could have surgery tomorrow to ensure that I never have kids, I would. My fiancé (who is older than me) feels the same.

Just curious who else feels the same, how old are you, do you have a partner who feels the same? How did/will your family react? What are some of your experiences?
