What do you think of people who choose not to have children?

Aside from online forums, this is a topic I don't usually discuss in public, since having children is expected and people who choose not to are criticized. My friends and family don't even know where I stand on this. My mom keeps dropping hints about how she is looking forward to grandchildren, and that's going to be a rough conversation to have with her.

We're over populated anyway.

This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.
Totally on board with it.

I'm 17, but fairly certain I won't be having children. I think I'll be better off - emotionally, financially, you name it - not going through that experience.

My parents will no doubt hate me for it, though, and I'm not sure about finding a partner happy with it, either.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
I don't see a problem with it.
Then again, I'm part of the group who doesn't want any, despite how often my mom says that she wants grandchildren...

All good with me.

I could never imagine my life without kids. Even when I was a teenager. But thats just me.

Kids aren't for everyone.

Good for them. If they don't want kids they shouldn't have them.

Long live NoNolesNeckin.

Ya fuckin' ganderneck.
It's their choice, and one that hardly affects me. My judgement remains reserved.

I'm genuinely impressed by how indifferent most people here are. It's comforting. Because in the real world, if someone brings up children and I casually mention I'm not interested in having any, I get all kinds of weird looks and predictable responses like "you'll like them when they're your own" or "you'll change your mind."

Never mind the comments my girlfriend gets when she says she doesn't want any. Apparently you're not considered a woman unless you have kids, according to many people, and your life is meaningless.

I honestly don't understand the appeal in having them. Maybe the parents are so saddened and psychologically broken by their choice that they feel the need to impose their misery on us freedom-lovers. . .

Yeah, let's go with that.

I believe that they are absolutely evil. The only reason for marriage is procreation, and if you don't intend to procreate, you shouldn't get married.

I doubt that anyone on here takes issue with what you choose to do with your life, especially something as inconsequential as this.

Hmm...
I'm one of these. No offense to those who have or want kids, but I can't stand the little shits for more than a half hour or so. My parents know of my dislike of them and my decision to never have them, but my grandparents (one in particular) are still pushing me to find/marry someone and procreate.

Good on them really, there is no sense in having kids for the sake of it. The planet is overpopulated so it's not going to do any harm by not having children.

I'm undecided on it really, I joke about having a clone made instead but that's only partially a joke >.>

Whatever.

It's a major life choice and only those who truly want them should have kids. People who choose not to have kids, because they evaluated their life and know it won't work out, show a higher level of decision making IMO.

Of course one day I hope to have kids and a great relationship. Unless I become rich. Then screw that, I'm living the high life!

I don't really care, there's too many humans on this planet anyway, besides it's none of my business regardless. As for me, I can't see myself as a parent, but who knows how things may change in the future.
