I do not know you.

Nothing selfish about making a choice.
The reasoning for making that choice might be a selfish one.

yes you are being selfish. if a person doesn't want to be a parent then they should back up their belief n get themselves fixed. being a parent is best gift ever. and a person that don't wanna have kids obviously don't love their owne parents very much either.

I don't want to have children because I don't think I be a very good influence, there is not a great history through the generations in my family of good parenting and even though I would like to be the one that changes that, I would find it selfish of myself to take the risk if I cant be sure that I would be good.I know many people that are born to be parents, but I dont think everybody is.

And how does the love/dislike for one's parents affect one's want/don't want of children?
Obvious to you but not to me.

I like the option of loving someone or not.
You make it sound like not loving one's parents is a bad thing.
As if one should feel guilty about it.
Being a parent gives no entitlement for undisputed respect and love from one's children.
Nice thing if they do but the free choice is theirs.

As for the 'they should back up their belief n get themselves fixed'
wtf?
Can you not think of one reason/scenario where not wanting children would be a selfless act?
I can.
