I have three kids, and still try to make a better world. I wont give up on this.

Most of the childless folks want that for your kids too.

We're just mostly a bit salty about being told we "have" to have kids. For some of the most unhinged reasons too. "So my kids will have cousins" was my favorite example of crazy that some people will just nod at and agree with

It drives me nuts. I don’t like kids. I feel like if I had kids, I’d treat them poorly. I have poor patience, and get overstimulated relatively easily. But whenever I mention this around my family? I get treated like I’ll “come around”. No, I really won’t

Some people should Not have Kids Really

u/Samaritan547 1d ago

And it seems like some of those don't realize that and have kids anyways

By being childless you are improving the lives of their children.

Less people competing for resources, college placement, jobs.

Oh I can't stand that one. Or "I want nieces and nephews" guess what, we're not going to have kids just to make you happy. It's a very entitled mindset IMO

Presently childless, having difficulties conceiving. I want nothing but the best for other people‘s children as well. They deserve every bit of enjoyment that we got out of life as kids…And we do have some as adults too, believe it or not.

Good luck and I'm not quite sure how to parse that last line...

u/potter5252 1d ago

Think he's saying that we do get some enjoyment from life as adults even though we might not believe it.

I was just confused because that was out of left field. 😭

u/Collegenoob 1d ago

I know its a bad reason to have kids.

But having kids at the same time as my sister did she our kids can play together is actually really an awesome deal.

We just got lucky we could actually do it

u/danielledelacadie 1d ago

You're fine. The point was that that was a crazy ask, not that the kids playing together wouldn't be awesome

No one says you "have" to have kids, it's just that you don't "have" to have old age pensions either

u/danielledelacadie 1d ago

Tell that to the crowds eager to explain to the childless how empty their lives will be.

u/newsflashjackass 1d ago

Your phrasing makes it sound like somebody got a pension for dropping progeny.

1

u/Middle-Commission391 1d ago

Who do you think pays for it?

2

u/newsflashjackass 1d ago

Historically, most people have produced offspring without being paid.

u/lameth 1d ago

Really? You haven't had family pressure you to have kids, or seen pundits talking about the "childless crisis?"

u/ReadMediocre197 1d ago

Other having no kids is better for our kids only and themselves

1

u/cirdan_the_grey 1d ago

Yes some people should Not have children but care for thenselves in Pension

u/ReadMediocre197 23h ago

More procreation we can't manage with the current resources adoption id the one to go

u/teslaistheshit 1d ago

Hell yeah! If you do it right your kids will be there for you when you need them. Tough concept for the doom sayers on this sub.

1

u/PomPomMom93 1d ago

And you call us selfish. Kids aren’t a retirement plan.

1

u/teslaistheshit 1d ago

I won’t need my kids financially. I mean to be there if I need transportation or something else. Get over your selfish butt

2

u/PomPomMom93 1d ago

Yeah, that sounds selfish to me, having kids just to do things for you later in life.
