What is it with people telling people that never had kids/don't want kids, that they are selfish, etc?

Just because someone doesn't want kids/had kids doesn't mean they are selfish. It also doesn't mean they are immature. It has nothing to do with anything. It is their choice. Man or woman.

Ultimately I think it goes back to the government. They want soldiers and tax cattle. Religions want members willing to donate funds so they're anti abortion af too. You do need children born at replacement at least or extinction will occur so they're not exactly wrong. Notice that communists love abortion, even up until birth. Ultimately I think that is because uniquely among ideologies, they actually love death.

I don't get it. Kids are not for everyone. I know childless couples who are very happy with their lives. People who have kids that they did not want in the first place do nobody any favors.

The funny thing is the next question they often would ask you is “then who is going to take care if you when you’re old”, as if they’re the selfish ones for wanting kids so they’ll get a free nurse

[RxR0954]

*as not they’re not

[Steven80000]

It is totally dumb because look at many old people who live in nursing homes without kids visiting at all or barely.

[RxR0954]

Exactly my point, people think their kids are going to take care of them when they’re old just because they’re the parents, many people also don’t realize if they’re assholes their entire life noone is gonna wanna be near them including their adult children

[Steven80000]

Yeah the parents are assholes or the kids may turn out to be assholes for no reason. That is another thing too, what if your kids turn out to be assholes even though you are nice lol. Most people follow the herd and don't think for themselves. I had a former friend who said "you know how you are 34 and don't have kids, are not married, work as a security guard, I don't care about that stuff with you, but most of society would judge you for it," I told him I stopped giving a fuck about what society thinks about me. I only care about what my close friends, and immediate and extended family think of me.

Selfish is when you are poor and still give birth of multiple kids.

[Steven80000]

It is not people's business and people are weird for judging other people for it. Lol. I get your point.

[Berethor]

Stop simping for selfish, immature and unfeminine women, not wanting kids is weird.

[loveslongnails]

Stupid is as stupid does. Nothing more. They're idiots, who cares?

[Pterodon]

Then why do you not want any? There’s not many reasons if you want the truth. Just like in murder there’s only 3 motives, revenge, money, sex

[In_Trance]

Isn't the actual definition of selfish... Choosing for yourself?

[beefcakebradybatson]

They're busybodies!!!

[Steven80000]

What's that?
