I loved that movie

My sister and her boyfriend are such little shits me and my girlfriend use them as a excuse to not have kids :^)

Kids add a new perspective to life. They definitely aren't for everybody. I love mine but don't care to be around others.

Where are the cheese facts!?

Word. I don't have the patience to deal with something that screams for/because of food/urine/feces for 18+ years. I wanna shake it.

At a kids party right now. Reconfirming my choice to enjoy my twenties.

It's more annoying people trying to pursuade you either way, do what you like.
Ippeppe
I have a kid. I still laughed at this. Again. Boohoo for all who dont or have kids, heard of individual life choices?
Bloominfreckles
I don't understand the debate/quarrel. No one needs to pat themselves on the back for either decision. People without kids enjoy 1)
Bloominfreckles
certain freedoms, people with kids trade some freedoms for magical, connecting, human moments that come with parenting. Both are good. 2.

The feeling when my 8 months old daughter smiles at me : Priceless!
theMonkeyTrap
Have a kid, don't recommend if you aren't willing to put them ahead of yourself. Humanity would be fine anyway. Fuck the bloodline bs!

Adopted 3 kids still upvoted
ArmandoManatee
Older children? Sibling group? I'm beginning to get interested in fostering to adopt. Maybe in a few years.
kn1ghtus
Aye sibling group from foster to adopt made a post about it with pictures. Hardest thing we've ever done. The system is so messed up
ArmandoManatee
Saw the post. Adorbs. They say my state does a good job. Organized. Surprised how often ppl tell me it's a bad bad idea. :/ what do I know.
hugjob
I respect the guts it takes to have kids despite never being fully prepared, but I'll make my impact on the next generation in other ways.
hugjob
Gonna be an auntie soon. First of the next gen in our family. Terrifying, but I'm so glad the pressure's off to make my parents grandparents
doctorbees
I never understood why parents pressure their kids into grandkids. I'm glad my parents don't.

And this is why each and every one of you that took the time to respond is a whiny ass hypocrite
pizzaparty
Nope. My parents weren't good because they didn't want to be parents, which is why I think people who don't want to be parents shouldn't be.
CheetahFart
It's not because my parents decided to go through the struggle of having a kid that I must do the same
coralraerose
And I am appreciative that my parents wanted to put up with my bullshit. I however don't want to do the same
pizzaparty
Actually, my mom neglected and later abused me. But anyway, I don't subscribe to the idea that one should suffer because others suffered.
bamble
I'm still waiting for the "joy" of my kids to start... I think I may have been lied to
evil66gurl
The joy kicked in for me when they finished college. Just kidding, I love them to pieces but good days, & bad.
flatdeer
How old are your kids?
MightyShoePrint
32
bamble
Och I'm kidding but they're both under 5
bbpianoman
The joy of having kids also includes waking up in the middle of the night for a long time. Not. Fun.
Khatvogel
That really just depends on the kid. It's not like kid = no sleep
Diabolicalwifey
My kids sleep 12 hours every night.
ispendmostofmydaynaked
Ugh hope this is true. Expecting our first in August. I really get fed up with the negative shit people preach about being a parent. Any...
ispendmostofmydaynaked
...one would think they are babies until they're 50! These same people say make the most of the early years as they're teenagers b4 you know
Diabolicalwifey
They are 2 & 5. They have been sleeping that way since they we're 1.
Sethmon
Ironic he's crying about not having a kid
WaitingonCoffee
His kid died, right? So he is actually missing the joy he used to have by being a parent. As Morissette would say: well can you feel it?!?
DrRobotHouse
can you feel it Mr Krabs?
plainoldfool
I didn't expect Zombieland to have any feels whatsoever, so when they revealed he lost a son it really bothered me
plainoldfool
He's crying about losing his kid.

For me its a feeling i would never have had otherwise. Its hard to explain the kind of love i have for my son. It just doesn't compare.

When you're ready, you'll know, it changes your life for sure, but life isn't all me, me, me, its very rewarding, just not for everyone.

Ain't nothing more selfish than having your own children

Living just for yourself gets thin after a certain point in life.

There's no joy on have kids... only pain, suffer and defiance
flatdeer
Wow, was that what it was like in your family when you were growing up?
BeanProbe
I remember my sister told me this as her progeny was being a hellion while I struggled to cram a bulky stroller into
BeanProbe
My trunk in triple digit heat. Oh yeah. Some joy I'll be missing out on. No thanks. Pass.
digger40
Had a vasectomy at 32 with no wife or children. Best 35 dollars I ever spent. (Co-pay. I do pay a ton for insurance though)
apcolleen
36f childfree and to find a dude i like with a vasectomy is my dream.
lordkickass
I had visions of expired novacain and moustache trimming scissors until I read co-pay
digger40
That's why I added that detail
nosoupforoldmen
I'm thinking of getting a vasectomy. It's free here in Canada and me and my girlfriend don't want kids so it seems like a logical step.
LoveTheShiningWire
Lucky. I'm 27 and they refuse to do anything but birth control for me. Never liked kids, don't want kids. Husband feels the same way.
[deleted]

LoveTheShiningWire
No prolly because I am female and it's looked down upon. Also there are medical complications with tying the tubes up I suppose.

LoveTheShiningWire
Where abouts are you talking about? I live in California.
lifeful
I'm 29 and I've been thinking about this a lot. Did the doctor give you any static? did you freeze any semen as backup?
digger40
Didn't freeze any swimmers, doc was business as usual. I made it known that this decision came after years of contemplation.
JoshOfTheDeep
I was under the impression that the process could be reversed so I can't at the moment think why you would have too
lifeful
Hmm, reversals sometimes don't work and are more expensive. Urologists typically do thorough counseling for young males w/ no children. 1/2
lifeful
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasectomy#Conceiving_after_vasectomy there is some good info there you may find useful; best!
SomethingAwesomer
Wat. I paid $400 to get my tubes tied. So jealous. But agreed, best $400 I ever spent. Love being childfree.
digger40
How was that procedure?
SomethingAwesomer
Easy. There was a bit of recovery time, only a couple of days, but not painful at all.
digger40
Nice.
SomethingAwesomer
Note: I'm a woman, so it's a different procedure. ^_-
pizzaparty
Weird, my tubal was extremely painful. I woke up from anaesthetic sobbing and shaking from the pain, and recover took 2-3 weeks.

Fuzzynubz
That's a brave choice.
justleaveittome
It's reversible
Fuzzynubz
I would argue with you but ny father in law had his reversed successfully and now my wife was a brother who is 27 years younger lol
digger40
Not at all. There are millions of children in need of adoption should I feel paternal at some point.
Fuzzynubz
That's an interesting way to view it. Sounds like you've thought it through anyway.

Fuck the money, I enjoy the full nights sleep, time to upkeep my health and unlimited free time to do anything.

Shut up, you have no idea what you're talking about
bergmama
Lotsa paper cunts huh.
Lurch1911
Plus when you want to travel or make other plans you don't have to think about what to do with the little crotch goblins
Canchocolatejustletmefinish
Travel is my primary motivation for not having kids.
fragtore
Travel is my primary concern talking about having kids, also all the shit I love buying for myself
bimpnottin
Or you know, just take them with you to broaden their horizons and show them the world. That's what my parents did.
flatdeer
This.
feeltheice
No way in hell am I taking my kids to Coachilla and burning man. Dads gonna go get fucked up for a weekend ya trophies see you on Tuesday
Nobody7713
With younger children that isn't really an option though. You can't take infants and toddlers to a lot of places, and even under 8 is iffy.
DaChronisseur
We're your parents loaded?
Iamthemonkeymansowhatevercats
You don't have to be loaded to travel. That's a myth people tell themselves. Read the 4 hour work week.
doctorbees
Okay but you know how much kids cost, right?
DaChronisseur
Man, I travel all the time, flights out of the states are fucking insane. I love traveling, but it gets pricey.
eotty
I have a kid. Money and gets a full night sleep....
ItMakesNoSenseAtAll
Two kids - money - travel a lot and with the kids. Best cuddles and love ever!
Ratherplaydead
I've got two and have the same. I'm not uber rich, but I've got a car I like, a roof over my head, and food in the fridge. Plus cuddles.
HunnersAeFizzyJuice
Does that mean you masterbate a lot?
bergmama
I came here to make this comment. Thanks lol
MyNameIsNotSteve
Not having kids doesn't mean you can't have sex?
BiteTheHandsThatThieve
Having sex doesn't mean you can't masturbate.
malachitedragon
And people who get mad that you masturbate despite having sex can fuck right off.

If you're asking how often I do it, about every night before I go to bed. More on the weekends when I'm bored. Single life bitches!! *cries*
dawnawakensyoursoul
And no legacy. Enjoy it, just remember your genes die out. You're ending the family line with your "bbut muh free time"
MrMantastic
We're not just links in endless chains. We're people. None of us signed a contract at birth saying we'd make a new link.
soso456
And? Not everyone think they didn't accomplish anything in their life if their "genes die out". And having your genes live is not a thing.
dawnawakensyoursoul
Not a thing to me*
NobleAdvances
This makes no sense. What difference does it make to me what happens with my genes, etc. when I'm non-existent for the rest of eternity?
dawnawakensyoursoul
I love how salty everbody got over this.
LoveTheShiningWire
The thought of being pregnant is disgusting to me personally. Bleh. No thanks. I give zero fucks if my genes die. I'd rather have animals.
AlecStarling
I'm so glad I'm not alone in this
LoveTheShiningWire
Welcome to the club another mother of animals. Or just a lady who never wants to be pregnant or have kids. Both work.We should get t-shirts!
AlecStarling
Indeed we should! I'm perfectly happy with my little cat
AlabasterCrashesDown
I'm also a preggophobe (made that up). I don't know why but it freaks me out. Also every thing about kids are too much hard work for me.
AlabasterCrashesDown
I have SO much respect for parents. That shit is hard. And if you don't think it is then you have angel children.
9678904
As someone without kids and spending the last 9 days with brother/sister who has them. Kids fulfill a void that money doesn't.
WillJeSuis
The sound aroudn you?
Demikmj
Said like a true aunt/uncle. I am an aunt and I love my niece. I also love that at the end of visits I can send her home.
feeltheice
Do you also feed them ice cream and a bowl of sugar before giving them back?
MightyShoePrint
Yes. They fill the void with snot, frustration,screaming, vomit, poop on the floor, crying, and snot.
monadi
Not for everyone. I'm happy enough to be an aunt. Don't have any need or want to have them on my own. I have different goals for my life.
9678904
Right there with you, as an uncle though.
nohman64
I don't think I have that void
9678904
Fair enough. I didn't have it til I reached about 35.
IgnatiusJReilly2601
For you perhaps. You shouldn't assume that applies to everyone.
9678904
I wasn't making a projected statement, just a reflective one. You some sensitive motherfuckers sometimes :)
muttonchoppa
Also dont have children (30yr old male), I'd rather participate in a big brothers program than be obligated to parenthood.
9678904
37 here and no plans to have any. Agreed, on the big brother program. Tried to in my last location, nothing was available.
DigitalBeard
Unless you don't have a void because you don't like kids.
9678904
Fair enough. I wasn't making a projected statement, just a reflective one.
LoveTheShiningWire
This. I never, ever liked babies or kids. As a little girl I had dinosaurs, dragons and stuffed animals. Kids annoy the crap out of me.
codylishush
Being that I'm one of the last of the line on my father's side of the family, I feel a bit obligated to have kids.
hardlyfatal
When we don't want to do it for any other reasons, that is.
hardlyfatal
I too am the last of my family. But nothing's so special about either of our families to justify breeding just to continue the bloodlines.
codylishush
not sure why I'm downvoted for that
EmeraldLight
I'm an only child and the last on my mom's line, she agrees I'd be a terrible parent.
9678904
Same and my father passed last year. I feel guiltier now that he's gone.
codylishush
lost my father too, I feel the same guilt
bimpnottin
Thank you for expressing an opinion that goes against the 'hate' towards (having) kids on imgur. Surprised you didn't get downvoted actually
9678904
Yeah, never wanted any biological of my own, but I'm great with them. People (Imgur included) take that wrong a lot of times.
dawnawakensyoursoul
Hes getting down voted to shit everywhere else actually. Lol
BiteTheHandsThatThieve
Kids are awesome when you can give them back and go home to peace and quiet. I would never want to be stuck with em though.
Silverforte
That is a chemical reaction in your brain. You do not need children.
9678904
I'm a 37 year old male who could have had them by now. I don't want any of my own, but like what they fill as nieces and nephews
viciousrana
Also, a good chunk of the naysaying on this site can be explained by the fact that kids typically don't want kids.
justleaveittome
Haha thisssssss.
HazyKitten
Absolutely! I say do what you want not what others say you should want. I have a friend who NEVER wanted kids. Found a guy who NEVER
HazyKitten
wanted kids either. They both hit 30 and its like they are different people. They both now want multiple children. Growing up and
HazyKitten
finding love has a way of changing minds. That's ok too.
viciousrana
Most people find it completely understandable why they're different than 10 years ago, but cannot see that happening 10 years from now.
Kabba
I would destroy a country to keep my sister & brother's kids safe. Love them to bits. But I don't see myself being such a good parent.
Selerox
Which country? Because if it's Lichtenstein, it's not all that impressive.
MyNameIsNotSteve
Killing other people's kids in the process. What makes your nieces and/or nephews so special?
Kabba
It's just a figure of speach my friend. It is used merely to emphasise my love for my nephews & nieces. Don't take things too literrally.
MyNameIsNotSteve
Pretty shitty figure of speech
misterskeItaI
As someone who never wants kids, i have nothing against people who like kids. I just can't stand all "Oh you'll change your mind someday."
Mulon
It's just because most people want to at some point in their lives. That's evolution for you, or a result of evolution.
misterskeItaI
Which is fine, it's fine if you want to have kids, it should also be fine for people to not want to have kids.
Mulon
True! But that is why people think and say that they will change their mind. BTW I've got popsicles.
IgnatiusJReilly2601
I'd never criticise a breeder's choice to have kids, but for some reason they feel free to tell me my decision not to is wrong.
apwillenme
Maybe it has something to do with being called breeder. Not sure.
HazyKitten
Last I checked we didn't live in an apocalyptic wasteland.
Newthoenikker
Feels for. We broke up, but it's like a door has been opened. I don't necessarily want them, but I can see myself having them with the right
LoveTheShiningWire
Yea, they say this with a knowing grin. Fuck that. The thought of being pregnant is disgusting to me. Or having kids.I will stick with cats.
9678904
Same.
EmeraldLight
Thiiiiiiiiis. Also, doctors who say that as an excuse not to approve you for permanent birth control.
misterskeItaI
What I love is how they say this, even for reversible procedures like tube tying.
MnemonicMonkeys
Although isn't tube tying a lot more invasive for women then men?
EmeraldLight
I was flat out told that no one gets their tubes tied except for people who have 3+ kids or have had rough/dangerous pregnancies
GlowGreen
That's when you say, "Okay, when you're done lying to my face, will you do it for me or do I have to go give another doctor my business?"
Newthoenikker
I mean, it's because most people feel like that. I was always against having kids, and then I fell for a woman who I started having those
MyNameIsNotSteve
So you are pussy whipped
nagini
I'm always curious to know the age of someone who never wants kinds.
NoFuckingClue
39
NoFuckingClue
Fucking mobile. 29*
misterskeItaI
I know people who don't want kids ranging everywhere between 14 and 60
nagini
that's fine, i'm wondering cause i never wanted them, but i'm 32 now and i ask myself all the time if i've fucked up
Newthoenikker
Person now
misterskeItaI
Personal reasons aside, the financial requirements alone are deterring, but mostly the fact that people no longer have a say in how
misterskeItaI
They raise their kids, completely shuts down any desire I might have had.
flatdeer
Why don't people have a say in how they raise their kids?
misterskeItaI
Because everything is consudered abuse, people call CPS just because a kid in Target says they're hungry
