Deciding to never have kids feels like cheating at life
It's so great knowing you'll never have to deal with a screaming baby or change their diapers. Never have to worry about any temper tantrums or dropping them off and picking them up at school. Never have to worry about raising a rebellious teenager. Never have to worry about sacrificing your time and life just to take care of someone else.
I really can't understand why anyone would ever choose to put themselves through this. I mean I guess I "get it" but I really don't lol. Most people I see out and about with kids look absolutely miserable. You can tell most of them are just at their wits end. Yelling at their kids just for asking for a snack in the grocery store or doing other things that kids just do. Like damn if you were going to be mean to them why did you have them in the first place? I think a lot of parents, probably around half or more secretly regret it, but will never admit it.
Deciding to never have kids is just such a freeing feeling. I can do whatever I want whenever I want, and keep all my money and time for myself. I get to be as selfish as I want and not worry about the effect it may have on someone else. I can focus on my career and my health without worrying about anything else getting in the way. I know for a fact I would be absolutely miserable if I had even one kid.
The thing that makes me laugh is the people that can't just accept the fact you don't want them. I hear things all the time like, "well if you do have them it could be the one thing that really changes your life!" Yea, changes my life for the worst lol. For some reason it seems like the only thing that some people just can't accept your opinion on. Anything else people can understand, but when you tell them you don't want kids, have never wanted kids, and will definitely never have any, they look at you like you're crazy or something. And they actually try to change your mind too. I think deep down they're actually jealous of us and want us to be miserable too.
I think people who choose to have kids or say that they want them in the future are crazy, but you don't ever see me trying to change their opinion on it. I'll just let them figure out for themselves if they're really built for that life or not, it's none of my business.
