I just don't get the appeal. Why do so many people tie their self-worth into just having offspring in exchange for forfeiting 18 years of your life and nearly a million dollars?

I need it explained like I'm five. I just don't see it.

I'm sure people who have and love kids cannot possibly fathom NOT having kids and don't see the appeal of going through life without them.

People like/want different things. You don't need to understand

Do you refer to kids as "crotch goblins", TC?

Having kids gives you power. Who else can you get to do your chores for you for free?

Kids make far more mess than they clean

Yeah, seriously. I love my kids but any "free labor" they provide is nullified by the distasters that surround them.

Same here, tc. I completely agree with you.

Also I don't understand the seth rogan comment or the "crotch goblin" comment or the comment about pets (and I like pets a lot although I don't personally have any)

I don't think I tied my self worth into having kids. Unless I'm misunderstanding what that means

Get them to clean up after themselves. I remember learning the clean up song when I was 4 years old.

Most people that have kids do it for selfish reasons. I doubt anyone having kids actually wants to create a person that will live a happy life. Instead, it's the mindset that "I gave you ___ so now you must give me ___," typically with the expectation that the child will care for them when they're older.

I actually agree. My gynecologist still says I'm too young to decide to be sterilized.
I'm a 32 year old woman. By best friends girlfriend was told 34 up is already at risk.

I never saw the appeal. Never wanted kids. Still don't. Especially not with the state our world is in. I don't wanna go through the struggle of kindergarden, school, heck, even the though of changing diapers disgusts me.

I admire parents. I 'd never say anything against your children or lifestyle. I just don't want that for myself. And I' m thankful my partner has the same opinion

I don't want children. Lose 20 years of my life? Nope.

I do quite like kids, though. But they're pretty loud.
