Does it shock or even disappoint you when fully grown adults explicitly state that they never want to have kids?

[Still-alive]

Some people have strong opinions on those who freely decide to never have kids. this sentiment seems more directed at women but sometimes men get these reactions too.

Yes it shocks me, how can they decide they don't want kids?

It is disappointing to me because we should always want kids in our culture

No i wouldn't care because its their decision to make

I have a different opinion on this (please share)

No it doesn't because having children is not that simple in my opinion. Sure parenthood must be a beautiful experience but it's also a choice that is made without consulting the child that will be born. Life is becoming harder, resources are scarce and the ability to provide and to ensure safety is not guaranteed so it is understandable that many adults might say no.

Thank you!!

Nope. Better to not have kids than being a bad parent or someone who doesn't love their kids. Not everyone is made for it.

As its even hard in today's economy

@TonyMetal___1986 I was talking about people in major cities.
Is there any day when you can be little serious and speak without using bully's language.
People are not always open to handle this kind of behavior

[Still-alive]

@TonyMetal___1986 ok tony i tolerated you long enough

[MrChinaski]

Far better to not want to have kids than to have kids you don’t want.

[loveslongnails]

Anyone who judges others that choose not to have kids, or even offer their unasked for opinions on the subject, need to mind their own business and get a life.

[GothEgg]

Shock yes as a parent but not disappoint.

[Still-alive]

why shock as a parent?

[GothEgg]

Because its the best.

[Still-alive]

what if they disagree?

[GothEgg]

Thats up to them isn't it.

[Still-alive]

You won't try to change their minds?

[GothEgg]

You can give your opinion on your experiences or give advice and the may listen or not but thing about advice is you dont have to take it.
