Is it normal to not want children?

When I was a younger guy, I thought about having the perfect family; a loving wife, a couple of kids, a nice house in the suburbs with our family dog.. now that I’ve experienced many different relationships with the opposite sex, these thoughts are no longer desirable. I am older now and realized I don’t need a wife and kids to be happy. I’m perfectly fine with a pet and living on my own and having a girlfriend here or there. I am pretty independent and don’t need to rely or anyone financially or emotionally either. It’s sad because back in the day, I wanted all of those things. Friends tell me I just haven’t found the one that reminds me of all the things I did want at a younger age. Not true. I had and well, it didn’t work out because I realized I wanted different things. I also dislike the thought of having children. The thought of a screaming child irritates the hell out of me. The thought of changing diapers and feeding a kid and picking up after them disgusts me too lol sorry to those who may be offended by this. Seriously, all I need is a pet to be happy. Kids annoy me. Just seeing other people’s kids annoys me.. especially when I’m out shopping and hear them yelling, while their parents aren’t even watching them.. and you wonder why kids are being abducted more so nowadays.

    Technically it's not really normal since most men and women seem to want kids. I really don't want kids. I remember when I was looking for a boyfriend, a good chunk of guys there wanted kids and couldn't understand why some people don't want them. I'm happy the guy I'm with doesn't want kids either. We can't stand them. XD

    As long as you're happy then it's good. I see nothing wrong with not wanting a family.

    What you need to be happy is a cock that works. I can't get it up. I'm pathetic.

    Of course it's normal. And as a man, you'll receive less questioning about your decision.

    I don't think it's normal to think that more children are being abducted nowadays because they scream more. That sounds stupid. But the not wanting kids part sounds pretty normal, I know loads of people who say they don't want children. In fact I think this is now much more common than wanting children. I have lost count of the amount of people who in the past have heard that I have children, or that I am pregnant, and been desperate to shoehorn into the conversation that they would never want children. As if they think I would accuse them of jealousy or something lol. It seems to be quite trendy at the moment. I do worry that some younger people are just saying it to look cool and try and be and different, and will regret it later on, but from what you've said here you definitely aren't one of those people.

    If you're happy with your decision then it doesn't matter what other people think, just do your own thing. You sound happy and content in life. It's not like you're hurting anyone. Plenty of women these days don't want children (much more so than men, I've read recently) so it's not like you'll struggle to find a partner that wants the same things as you, if you ever do decide you want a more serious relationship.

    Good for you for making the decision that makes you happy! So many people go along with stuff just because they think they ought to.

      I said kids scream and parents aren’t even watching them.. meaning they have kids they can’t even take care of and let them wonder around. I never said they were being kidnapped for screaming
