I've never wanted kids. I don't hate children, though I dislike babies--too unpredictable and very few are actually cute. But.. just never wanted kids. I kept it kind of quiet but now I'm coming to the end of when I can have kids (mid thirties) and no magical timer has started the count down.
Some people have pets but I don't have that sentimental "treat them like children" attitude a lot of people have. I keep fish.
I think there are a lot of people like me and in the past people got married because that was the thing to do and then ended up with kids basically on accident. Ha ha.

I am not a pet person but kids are eh. Meaning I'm indifferent. If I have them then good if not then not a big deal. "Few babies are actually cute"

I do not want kids.
Kids are evil.
And bad for the environment. I'm not even joking, if someone has more than two kids, they are contributing to the global overpopulation crisis. If every family stopped after one kid, it'll save the planet in 20 years time.
As you can probably tell, I do not want kids.
Kids are evil.

My opinion is that children are too much of a work and you have to devote significant part of your life to them (that is if you wish to see them develop as normal human beings, if you make them and don't care for them then you should be locked in some isolated room for eternity) so I am not thinking of them. However, young people that find pets less demanding substitute for children should be thrown to a deep pit. The same with those that let these pets on the street when they get bored with them.

I have kids, and if you want my personal experience, just seeing my kid gives me the same feeling as if I saw myself (flesh and blood) when I was a kid. your kids to you are yourself when you were their age.

Kids need only when you no longer have other problems!

If you cannot provide your kids it can be the problem. Also I wouldn't want my kids to grow up in society I grew up - country torned up in the civil war with a lot of other problems or in the kind of problems one 3rd world country has (which is my country today).

Well, I have no extraordinary desire to have children but I feel it is my duty to have them. It would be sad if my family line just ends with me. I owe it to my ancestors to reproduce. And its not like I absolutely hate the idea of having kids, I'm just neutral to it. Although I do suffer from aspergers syndrome from which I inherited from my father and because of it we both have suffered sad lives. I don't know if it would be humane to pass o this on to a future generation. Also said disorder makes it quite hard to attract a woman to do the deed anyways as I am admittedly an odd socially awkward person with a weird monotone voice and strange rigid mannerisms. We'll see I guess...

Well I am a young guy so for me having kids doesn’t sound ideal at the moment. I’m just too selfish, you have to dedicate a huge portion of your life to them. Perhaps when I am older it will appeal to me more. I think I will eventually feel like it’s the right time and I can pass my features, genetics, knowledge, and ideals down to my kids.

Not wanting children for a reason you know is something different. However I don't think one should not take a decision about something to come. the situation for the next generation might be different and things always change.

Real happiness is in having a family around you. they would love you unconditionally. You can wait until things are arranged but don't wait too long.
