I was just told today that I would "understand" homophobia when I had kids. I would get that I have to protect my children from them. Yeesh.
smellslikeflowers
I chose not to have kids. My bro and his son live with me and I fill the "mom" role for my nephew. Wouldn't change it but don't want my own.
stormtrooper412
That's the second time today that my day was cheered up by a woman called Sarah
nukethelizards
35 and I thought I'd have time, but I'm starting to shit bricks tbch.
Illuminasseryseriously
Nothing says Girl power like refusing to do the one thing no man can. Seriously though...no feelings for or against this.

I hate people generally. A smaller version who cant look after itself and asks stupid questions would not be welcomed, thank you.
Phayzzer
I'm using this in the future, if I have to give one more goddamn excuse. I will move on to simply 'I hate kids' if this doesn't work.
Zerberus
Funny because the girl who draws this isnt even 25 by now
kissmyash
Is 23 the time to start ? Like honestly..
alexanderthegreater
You dont want kids? Thats ok. But dont get all condescending to people who do. Its a two way street.
youreathing
People will go to great lengths to justify their own decisions by making you repeat them. Babies, another shot of tequila,... same same.
TonguePunchDeBumSon
I feel the same way as a man of 27. Just not for me.
railgap
Me and my wife both, thank the gods.
petitedeath
To each her own. Thank God it's not my way or else.
troublewithtribbles
I like what my cousins did when my aunt pressured them to have kids. They got dogs instead.
gogetahaircutyadamnhippie
God I hope this is true.
Cheomesh
Ok?
CrestKnight
i want kids eventually, and if i cant i'll adopt. but stop pestering everyone to have a kid, were overpopulated as is.
hawkesnightmare
Yes. I definitely do not want children, but if I change my mind, I'll adopt. Though mostly because my genes are shit and no kid needs that.
Azraelgargoyle
Its incredible how angry and aggressive people can get when you tell them you don't like kids.
warningsign
I think its really selfish to bring another life into existence without asking them for their permission first
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
Right? We need to invent time machines for this exact reason
CorrectlyOperatedVagina
Ok I need help: currently 18 and know I'd make a bomb ass grandma...but I don't want kids of my own lol ...any advice???
Icujle
Nothing says you can't be friends with people younger than you, who do have kids.
okeydokeylittlesmoky
Have siblings? You'll make a great aunt or uncle someday!
AawesomeAardvaark
Give out candy at playgrounds
guyinthebushes
Adopt an adult with kids
cyno01
Time travel?
housev1l
As a dude, I decided I didn't want to be a parent while still in grade school. Got fixed at 30. No regrets.
JohannesFit
I want kids, I just don't want them early. I want to wait until im at least 30-40. I want to enjoy my twenties with as much freedom
CharterOak
Fair warning, having kids later in life increases the risk they'll have Down Syndrome (if you're a chick).
eyesbetterblknd
35 and engaged. We like spending all our disposable income on video games and crap.
Phayzzer
36 and married. We travel the world, have a lovely quiet house & spend our time as we please. My husband is my best friend & I love my life.
Placentaur
God im so happy I found someone like this
keyqueen
That sounds like my ideal life.
Phayzzer
I'm not going to lie, anytime I step into a house with kids, the noise, all the toys and chaos, I cringe. That's not the life I want.
CacaFueg0
I cringe too. Kinda nervous itll be hard finding a significant other who doesn't want kids as well.
Phayzzer
Just be honest. What is more worrisome is the amount of women I've met that have openly admitted that they regret having kids. I'm tired 1/
Phayzzer
2/ of being told you should/need to have kids. No you don't, you can have an amazing life without kids. And you shouldn't be shamed for it.
HibiscuitsTea
Imgur's anti-kids stance is annoying. I cant wait to be a mom.
okeydokeylittlesmoky
Great! The issue is not you wanting kids. The issue is society pushing kids on those who don't. Telling us we are wrong or selfish.
HibiscuitsTea
Its the 21st century and "society" dgaf anymore.
okeydokeylittlesmoky
Ahaha! It's the same as it always was and will be. Everyone just gets to voice their annoying opinions now.
BlueSorceress
I did change my mind. Just saying, I don't like kids generally, but it's different when you've made your own.
Phayzzer
I have met multiple women that have said that. I still remember my landlord 'I love my kids but if I had a 2nd chance I wouldn't have them'
ReveredBear
I mean, if you don't want kids, that's fine. People shouldn't pressure you into it, but it's also understandable that parents want grandkids
LizardEnterprises
Understandable, maybe. But not any of their goddamn business. I mean unless they want to raise them, and also *deliver* them.
donejenn
"So you had me to get grandkids?" - me to my mother.
redhedqd
That's why I'm having kids.
donejenn
This was preceded by my mom stating she should have wished for me want to have kids along with being healthy and happy.
Icujle
Little unfair to have expectations of them before you even know them as a person, isn't it?
lightlybreadedtoast
My coworkers do it to me all the time. They have kids and talk about how awful child birth/ pregnancy was. I'm good. I'll get a dog
Cheomesh
Dogs are awful. Get a cat. Or rather, no pets.
HydraNova
I had a similar plan. Get a dog or a cat... or both. But after living with someone who have two dogs, I decided neither.
cyno01
Gee, our parents want cute little babies to dote one without any actual responsibility this time around? Sure, I'll get right on that..
ReveredBear
Sure? I mean, it's not a terrible thing to ask. Plus they raised you, didn't they? You don't OWE them grandchildren, though
Tassyr
After the way my parents raised me I REALLY don't owe them kids.
ReveredBear
Fair enough. I'm sure not one to judge
j00licious
Right on! Also, stop telling me that having an only child is tantamount to child abuse, kthnx.
CherryEmpress
Yeah it's bizarre. I was basically an only child (one half sister, 16 years older than me, never lived with her) and I was happy about it.
TrustmeIamdutch
Yes please! My kud will be fine go away!

MantisTobagganMD
Your kid is saying she was lonely growing up.
mindolluin
She has two older siblings.
Jdoiron
Only children who have survived that terrible existence.
ThronesWoven
you replied to the wrong comment man
Jdoiron
I'm drunk, man.
ThronesWoven
cheers. im drowning in an ocean of nihilism
LifeHasManyDoorsEddBoy
I have friends that have siblings. The last thing in the world that I want is a sibling..
MantisTobagganMD
Siblings are great. Siblings also suck. But overall, siblings are great. Until they start sucking.
LifeHasManyDoorsEddBoy
I think it's mostly a case of "this is all I've ever known so I can't imagine it any other way". I did actually have siblings for a while.
MantisTobagganMD
Who the fuck says that?
TanFlo
j00licious
Complete strangers. Always. Other kids' grandmas at birthday parties. Assholes in general.
craftyweasel
Fuck them. I'm an only child and I'm better off than everyone. Ever.
Str8Grizleh
I don't want kids but I don't want to die alone.
Phayzzer
Just because you pop out a crotch nugget doesn't mean you won't die alone. Family can be shit but friends can be forever
AawesomeAardvaark
Try to die in a bus crash
Str8Grizleh
Aww, what a sweet idea.
Soddo
Please dont be the driver though
guyinthebushes
You seem well suited for a suicide bombing
Str8Grizleh
Not cool bro! You're gonna get me put on a list
Mithi
In the end we all die alone.
yavamosportuputahamburgesa
you dont need them in that regard tho???
Str8Grizleh
I guess I could hire some strangers to surround me on my deathbed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
yavamosportuputahamburgesa
"oh my good friends, Nancy... Carl... and... uh, Jimmy?" "Jack, sir." "Oh yes, yes, Jack...."
MinervaMeThis
As a nurse, yes you do. Nice to see families there at the end, sad when dying patients are alone because they don't have kids/family.
yavamosportuputahamburgesa
means to an end. Family means different things for different people. A family doesnt by necessity mean kids. Could be friends or whatnot.
mcheerio
In my late 20s and friends are having babies. Friends in their 30s say to wait as long as you can. I think my hubs and I are gonna wait.
kissmyash
This. 23 most my friends are 1-3 babies in. Or married. Here i am. Just being. Wanting to chill. My friend said its better that young but no
Soddo
Im going to wait until the day before i die
zeethenomad
There can be serious medical complication is you wait past 35 for your first. The risk of birth defects jumps drastically with older parents
HibiscuitsTea
My boss was mid 40s when her son was born. Said it took her at least 5 yrs to fully recover.
yavamosportuputahamburgesa
you do you, boo.
rockfireman
I'm 23 and I've been seeing friends getting married and having kids as young as 20. What the fuck is going on?
HibiscuitsTea
A generation ago, getting married and having kids that young was the norm.
Falador
Don't wait too long though. You want to be physically capable and working while they're in university right?
CherryEmpress
I'm from a country where university is free, so I'd rather be ready to retire as soon as they leave the nest.
mmmnougat
I was 42 and my wife was 40. Glad we waited.
HibiscuitsTea
I dont want kids past 35. I know women who had kids older and it was a lot tougher.
Werewolfoflondon
It can't hurt to stay in great shape. Hit the gym a lot.
CoffeeyCore
My neighbours spend so much effort on their kid they forgot about their cat until we pointed out it had amassed a mass grave of birds.
pokenar
My mother had me when she was 37, lots of headaches due to illness as a child causing me to have "should have died" moments at least 10 time
Mechlai
it's scary. I want kids more than anything but I'm 27 and I've only managed a single disastrous date. :/
HibiscuitsTea
Im 31 and have found the love of my life but he's not someone i want to raise kids with (right now anyway) :(
QueenLaQueefa
Idk about women but my dad was 40 when I was born and it was nice. He was more advanced career wise and spent a lot of time with us kids.
HibiscuitsTea
Pregnancy at 40+ is not something I want to experience.
QueenLaQueefa
I don't think I want to experience it at all
AmyBethMegJo
Friends of mine just had their first. In their mid-50s. On purpose.
HibiscuitsTea
DAMN.
hellifiknowwhatsgoingon
I've got a cousin who's a kid of older parents. Aunt was 45, uncle was 50-something. They spoiled the shit out of him and he's clinging 1/2
hellifiknowwhatsgoingon
To them financially. Hope they don't do the same. 2/2
