Childless by choice

[Rocko]

I know numerous people who have, at some point in their life, made the decision not to have children. Every one of them has had people give them grief over their choice.

What the hell is wrong with people? Why do they think they have a say in the matter?

People these days feel obligated/entitled to form and express an opinion on damned near everything. It's both appalling and bewildering.

My personal feelings on the subject, to the extent I have any feelings on the subject, are as follows:

1) If you don't want kids, for God's sake, don't have any.

2) I treasure the occasions when I can say, "I don't have to care about that."

youre right,,,

some people just cant keep their opinion to themselves,,,

My opinion on that is you guys are both right

They don’t have a say in the matter and the busybodies should mind their own business.

I am happy as can be that liberals abort their children in or out of the womb. I am glad that fags/queers/dikes and any other of the abnormal people cant naturally have children because this is having an effect on the future of the Democrat Party, which was why the 1/2 white fagot from Chicago had to open the spigot to the diseased illegal horde that is coming across the border. The stupid gene is being slowly removed from society, where the more intelligent people are having children(not executed on the abortion table) thus increasing the Republican Party to the point, when the wall is built, there wont be any more future Dimwitocrap voters. It is a blessing and I applaud you liberals for your sacrifice to save this world. Please continue, I salute you.

sounds like you think people should just keep their mouth shut because you cant stand criticism,,,

its better for snowflakes to grow a pair and go somewhere they wont be offended,,,a small island would do it,,,

There are those who are frightened by dissent and respond by seeking to compel conformity – post #9 is an example of that.

I am not sure what you mean by grief, but I certainly know childless adults who feel that they have to explain their decision. Nobody really asks "Why did you have kids" so much as "Why didn't/haven't you had kids". My little sister loathes children and has since she was a child. I am fairly certain she has never even held a real baby. Whenever people asks if she wants to hold a baby, she is, "Nope. I don't do the baby thing." So far, she has managed to never get pregnant. She has zero patience with kids.

It is unnatural to not procreate. It is a normal human desire to propagate his/her species. To resist and refuse is abnormal.
I am abnormal. However I have chosen for very selfish reasons to not do so. I am a perpetual child who only seeks self gratification. I refuse to sacrifice for the benefit of race or culture. So, I have none.

It's outside the most common behavior, but I don't know if I'd call it "unnatural" or "abnormal". Probably always been at least a few people in every society who just aren't geared for parenthood. Better they recognize it ahead of time.

Absolutely abnormal. Dare I say it's as abnormal as homosexuality as it results in the same result.

If I had it to do over... I'd probably still have kids, but Christ almighty, what a pain in the ass...

My niece has indicated that she's not enthusiastic about kids, definitely doesn't want any for quite a while, and at most MIGHT want to have one. Or not.

I'm a little taken aback by the number of non-family members who feel compelled to condescendingly inform her, "Oh, you'll change your mind. Just you wait . . . but not too long, 'cause your clock is ticking." Or some variation to that effect.

I don't know if you dare or not, but if you do, you're incorrect.

Well, the fact that you find homosexuality to be 'normal' says a lot. We are going to have to disagree.

You must be a total delight at parties. Such a bitter little twat you are.

 

[initforme]

Wages today dictate people cannot afford to have kids. As workers continue to take it on the chin this trend will grow. It's a brave and very courageous decision to choose not to have kids because it's nobody's duty to have them for the good of the country. Have them if YOU truly WANT them.

Sorry, you'll have to find another reason to try to insult me. I have children.

And actually, I think people should mind their own business and not worry about a personal decision some people make.

That growth is from immigration.

The fact is, if we actually ended immigration, we would be in the same situation as Japan, with a dramatically falling population.

Economic growth is slowing because the growth of population is slowing, even with immigration. Without the required economic growth, promises won't be kept. Since promises won't be kept and someone will have to pay the price, the people who are responsible for the slowing growth should pay the price.

Except social security is getting your own money back.

Well not exactly, but to suggest that benefits should reflect how many kids you have is beyond stupid.

It is family members too with ours. We warn people. Some obey, some do not. First time you get a polite dismissal. Keep pushing and next time you get a snappy response. Keep pushing for a third bite and she will inventory your ass in a heartbeat. I suspect that is why she always dates older men--men who have either already had their kids or were settled on not having them at all. She never even played with toy baby dolls as a kid. My mom always said she knew by the time she was 3 there would be no grandchildren out of that one. A guy I know via work encountered her at his work and his response was, "Man, your sister will never be giving you any nieces or nephews. That is for sure." I laughed and apologized for not warning him not to discuss baby having with her. He is all about kids and tried to chit chat her about it and went for bite #3.

Even if there was a population explosion, we still can't keep those promises. It is impossible for socialism to work, regardless of population growth.

But everything else you said is accurate.

The only "snowflakes" I have ever heard complain about married couples NOT having children have been conservative christians.

I've even heard/read some of the state that if you don't have children you shouldn't be allowed to marry.

I have never once seen anyone, anywhere, ever, complain that other people didn't have kids.

Unless you mean more generally. I've seen people complain that Americans in general should have more kids, that's true.

But you are telling me, that someone somewhere, just randomly walks up to a couple, and says "why don't you have kids?" and then badgers them about it? Where? When? Who? I've never seen that.
