OMG THANK YOU

I never really wanted kids. I was open to the possibility that I might change my mind someday, but I just never saw myself as a parent.

42 y.o. here. I knew I didn't want kids at about age 12. I remember my dad yelling at me at about that time for some stupid thing: "Just wait until you have kids, then you'll understand!" I replied, "I'm not having kids!" Then he said, "Good luck finding a husband!" Right, Dad — who happened to also be a husband. I…

I guess the important point of all these studies/blogs/posts is that women can now actually admit they don't want kids. Think about it. Any of us in our 30s or older - did it even cross our minds when we were younger that we didn't have to have kids? I can not think of any one who openly admitted to not wanting them,…

When we were in our early 20's my friend said to me, "I'm never having kids. I'm too self absorbed to take care of children." She's in her. 40's, still no children, still self absorbed and also happy.

Yes and no. I have a 9 month old and if I ALWAYS put his happiness before mine, I would in fact have an impossible time making him happy. I need to take care of myself some, too, in order to mentally be able to make him happy.

I just feel like I need to say this: After your children are born, your happiness should now be second to theirs. Your childrens' needs should always come first, and a prospective parent should consider that before making such a huge commitment!

Can we please stop painting parenting as the only way to get "the highest highs" in life? It's extremely self-righteous and condescending to those who don't want kids, and a knife to the heart of those that do but are having fertility issues. People are different and varied and value different things. You do you &…

So, if you have children because you wanted children, you are likely just as satisfied with your life as a friend who does not have children because he or she did not want to have them.

I think it's the fact that he's in his underwear.

This.

I think she deserves the last word.

My mother ruined my credit, stole my identity, purchased cars, lit a fire for insurance fraud and blamed it on me, abused me sexually, physically and incredibly emotionally, and killed two of my cats, one in front of me.

But if I don't threaten people with death, how will they know that I want them to die?

Nope.
