having kids isn’t for everyone though. a lot of people aren’t financially fit or ready to have kids. a lot of kids grow up in extremely abusive households. some kids are abandoned, even some cases show babies being abandoned in trash bags/ bins. having kids isn’t for everyone and that’s okay too. their parents gave them a life so the parents owe them for it, but that doesn’t mean the child should have kids too. to begin with, the child never asked for a life anyway. you can’t expect a poor 45 year old who has no idea how to be a father to just become a father when he’s not ready.
it’s not selfish to not want kids. it’s selfish to bring a life to this world and not give it what it deserves or needs

we are not breeding machines

I agree with what you’re saying. Having kids is not for everyone and I sincerely think that if one is not able to take care of it and be a good parent, then you shouldn’t have one.

Yes, I only exist to get married, become a housewife, get pregnant, and produce an offspring or two :slightly_smiling_face:

agreed. and even if you’re ready to have kids, you don’t need to have kids if you don’t want to. it should never be forced and nobody should be guilt-tripped into considering having children

Exactly.

It’s selfish to want my own body to feel “clean” and not want to put myself through something I don’t have nor want to?

I think it’s selfish to say in general that everyone should have a kid.

that wasn’t my point, it was just an idea, to make you think.

Even people who could be a good parent do not have kids. It’s pretty fair for someone to not want one. It’s not selfish either to not want to give birth to a child.

how many kids do you hope to have one day :thinking:

For someone who: had a good and healthy environment and supportive parents as a kid, who is able to have kids and is happy with how their life is going, i personally think that it is a bit selfish not to have any, but that’s just my opinion. At the end of the day, it’s your choice.

Even at that, it’s really not selfish at all? There’s plenty of people out in the world who grew up in a healthy environment to be just fine with a furry family or just be happy with family events and just being close to the family they grew up in.

i’d have to say you’re wrong. it’s selfish to being a life into this world without giving the life what it needs or deserves (like i said before). nobody owes anybody anything, and if you don’t want to have kids, you’re not being selfish. how would this be selfish? who would it be hurting to not have kids? the life doesn’t exist yet so how is it selfish?

one, or two.

I want to pass down the values that my father taught me and I want him to experience life, close to the way i did. The reason why is kinda complicated and long, but I want to be a role model for him/them and teach them what’s important in life.

same here, i would like to pass down my family’s culture

It makes sense, but it really doesn’t have to be through having a child.

You can affect people non-related to you the way you might to a kid of your own if you really wanted to. Teaching, counseling, social workers, are all good examples.

Because in some way, you’re not giving the opportunity to your unborn child to be able to experience the greatness in life, you’re keeping it for yourself. There’s probably a better way to explain this, but it’s not coming to my head right now.

if i were to go by your logic, it would be selfish not to adopt kids too

Very true, I want to be able to do that one day to other people, but it’s a personal goal of mine to pass the values down to my kid, so that he, can do the same, and our familly can continue.
