Is it normal that i don't want children?

It is true i see lots of young couples that are not even meant to be together there is no love the only thing that binds them together is that baby in the stroller...whenever i go shopping im lucky to not be a part of that hollow eyed look you mentioned. i know exactly what you mean. those parents are low income, stresed out, and miserable barely affording diapers

NO KIDS FOR ME EITHER

i love my freedom too much and my solitude and the joy that comes in knowing you can do whatever you want

"They wheel their strollers around in hollow-eyed misery, like someone that has just lost a limb."

WOW

That's quite an apt description, actually.

I chose not to have children for a wide variety of children, and every time I see a pregnant woman, I cringe (especially if she already has other children). Human overpopulation will be the death of this planet and ruination of everything.

God breeders have such sad lives. In the end, they are only jealous that they threw away their lives just to crap out a little brat.

I agree. I don't want kids bc I know I'd make a horrible parent. So dogs will suffice for me. But I can only imagine how difficult parents is, even if you do have the money and the patients and the brains. I'm sure you kids never turn out the way you plan. Parents are only humans too so their bound to make some mistakes.

It's okay to feel that way. You don't have to have kids if you don't want to. More people then you think feel the same way as you. Just make sure you're really careful that the condom doesn't slip.

If you don't want them, dont have them coz you can't send them back to where they came from.

A friend of mine had IVF and said she cried when she couldn't have children but has cried 100 times more since she has had them. They are extremely hard work if you intend to parent them properly. Of course, you could let the tv / computer babysit them and throw them some junk food every so often.

i hate kids. /;

Same.
Having kids wont help stop overpopulation either.

Well I guess you were just another "regret" aswell then, yes? Afterall you were a child once, of people that wanted a family. It sounds to me that you are jealous and I would even go to say that you made yourself feel this way to try and get rid of the reason why you made yourself feel this way, because no one wants to make a family with you and to sheild yourself from that you try to make it seem as if you don't want a family.
This is my opinion on the matter because instead of actually addressing the point that "you" don't want kids you decided to just insult other families, which shows that you are more focused on the fact that they have a family rather than the fact that you don't want one.

I want a child one day just so my bloodline continues.

It's your opinion. But children are wonderful. If you got you first child in your hands, you'd think, that you're the most happiest woman ever. A child could change you. But it lays in your hands, how to get changed. Positive or negativ.

25% of my friends have already gotten a divorce and three of my friends are single parents with kids under 10.

It's a global culture of shit that needs to change. You can't sleep around without consequence. You can't give in to lust without a fucking condom.

My s/o and I don't want them. I even had a permanent sterilization procedure at an early age to prevent any "accident". We do like the idea of passing on our genes, but we don't really like children themselves (also since I'm female I wouldn't want to go through with the physical pain and body ruining).

I agree that having a child means you are required to put tons of money and effort that could be used for more enjoyable things instead toward this disgusting and annoying thing that will take up all your free time. You will have to consider them in any major aspect of your life or decision you make because they ARE your life now. That concept alone is intimidating. It's not like you just got a pet or some new expensive toy; it's like you replaced your identity.

I have seen the parental regret like you describe and that helps confirm my decisions. Not to mention most of the time everything you worked toward with the child comes out ultimately to be all for nothing since they tend to grow up to not care for you, be a type of person you don't like, and/or just continue leeching off you.

I honestly don't forsee myself getting so bored and done with my life to the point of wanting to pop out some new life to try to control or entertain me or whatever anyway. Throwing away my youth and future is mot definitely not worth passing on the genes for.

My girlfriend likes children - she just doesn't want to sport some. See, some lovers want to create life from their lovemaking. I don't blame them. Some like kittens/rainbows/sunshine, others want a baby, y'know?

Personally, she (my girlfriend) was once an orphan (long story), so she hates people who want to lavish the parental love on children but never thought of adopting orphans, instead, opt to contribute to Overpopulation.

Children, inevitably, will change a relationship. You no longer can do whatever you want, cause your partner is mature/an adult, but your baby is like what Shrek describes, "they cry and they poop and they cry again", is all.

Honestly, a baby's arrival is a major change - and almost everyone can't be comfortable with that. It just depends on whether you're up for the responsibility and risks/consequences/possibilities, or not.

There is something called instincts. I was scared to death of having children, even now... At some point in just happens...

Are you your parent's "little bundle of regret"?

You are such a sad, naive person.
You have no idea how much you are missing out on.

sure, it's your life and you can make your own choices. parenting isn't for everyone. I want to be a mom someday when I'm ready. I just don't wanna be tied down right now.

i want 3 or 4 of them

It's not normal if you're lets say in your 40's and don't have kids because If you get to old you wont be able to have kids so you wont be able to pass down your genes for future generations. But if you're young It's perfectly normal, just don't get to the age where you can't have children wishing you could have children.
