I don't think I ever want to have children and part of this reasoning is because I would not want to bring them up in today's society!

How about you lot what are your views?

Knowing how today's society is and had to do it all over again I wouldn't have any children.


I don't recall things as I was growing up being as bad as they are now.I also don't recall things being as bad as when I had my son.


It's not that the world has changed it's the people in it that's changed.Obviously totally different generations.

That decision was taken away from me last year.

But no. I'm 53. Changing diapers, sleepless nights, and not being able to get up and go, wouldn't appeal to me.

I'm sorry to hear thatcomfort

Yes I can imagine it would be a lot of work looking after children and it would take up a lot of "me" time away from almost anybody.

It is more wrong to have them, when you don't want them, just to 'fit in' to society.

People also shouldn't have children if they aren't mentally mature enough to have them.

My father's mother gave him and his older brother up cause she didn't want to be tied down.She was very young when she had them both.

I understand the implications of not having children mean's that my mother and father will never have grand children and the family name would not continue into another generationcrying

when it comes down to it I must put myself first and I will continue to be happy with my much older girlfriend who is beyond the age to have anymore children now, but has adult children along with grandchildren to keep her happy, so I will never have pressure from her to have children!

If a person strongly feels that they would not be a good parent, then not at all.

I only get upset when people say they hate children.
Just makes me wonder what egg they came out hatched and grown from.

I never felt strongly that I would not be a good parent, quite the opposite in fact.

I just never felt the need to have children.

There's nothing wrong with people deciding not to have children. thumbs up

Be careful you don't end up with a partner that does. Of course, if a person is with a partner they want and every thing is mutual; what is decided at the moment, could be subject to change, health and years being taken into account. grin

This leads me to another question.

For men who don't want to have children, to they insure that they can't make children. In other words do you get fixed?
