(+) Yeah! (+)

I really doubt I'll ever have a partner, let alone reproduce.

I don't really care if I do, and might even prefer not to have any kids. I'd be willing to do it with the right woman, though, if she wanted kids.

No, kids are dumb

Having children is unethical.

You don't have to follow the 'Life Script'.

That would be "unsure" then. "No" is for the conscious descion not to have kids.

I 100% agree. Most people have kids without even really thinking about what they are doing. It is fucked up.

I'm pretty sure it will never happen. I'm not planning on it.

Call me selfish, but I think I'll enjoy life a lot more without a kid around.

Done! Twice

Selfish! Self absorbed twitch streamer!

To be fair I would rather none of you reproduce as the world will be more fucked if you do

Having kids is completely pointless and a waste of money.

i wouldn't say it's pointless, otherwise we wouldn't be alive lol. and i love hanging out with my niece

but i'm not sure if it's for me

maybe tomorrow

You need to have sex to reproduce and that's basically impossible so nah, no plans.

Realistically true, but worse people than us are pooping out a quarter dozen kids anyway.
---

I might adopt one day. I would need to be living somewhere besides Oklahoma though.
---

I don't want any at the moment, but my partner and I have both agreed that if we want kids in the future we will adopt.
---

To have a kid has pretty much been the thing I've looked forward to my entire life. I absolutely planned on having kids. That's basically impossible though since I turned out to be a social reject that can't get laid.
---

Yes, that way nobody will ever call me a virgin again
---

Already have
---

Yes but not anytime soon
I'm not going to waste the prime of my life raising a kid when I could be using that time to actually do what I want

I'm too busy being a kid to have one of my own

Maybe in a decade or so, once I've slowed down a little bit
---

Absolutely not, and if by some grave misfortune I ever did, I would have nothing to do with the spawn.

Christ CE is bitter and resentful about marriage, relationships, children, success, wealth .... I'm honestly thinking CE is what people say it is, and not an exaggeration.
---

My fiancee are thinking of trying a year from now, 6 months or so after the wedding.

Also planning to adopt.

No.

This is why:

1) Population is skyrocketing
2) With technological advancement and corporations getting bigger than most governments, they find it increasingly easier to shift all jobs to the newest 3rd world shithole du jour to exploit those people
3) Automation will take away many jobs and create a few new jobs that will be more competed for and harder to qualify for
4) Politicians have distracted us from the automation issue because they don't want to address it because corporations fill their pockets
5) things that our ancestors had for granted, such as pensions, retirement, job security, etc are now a thing of the past
6) college prices are skyrocketing
7) getting a college degree doesn't necessarily mean you will get a good job anymore. So now ypu're n debt AND jobless
8) with technological advancement and globalization students from all over the country and all over the world compete for college and university acceptance. At some point a 4.0 GPA with no "interesting extra curriculars" will mean burger flipping, only that a robot flips the burgers so not even that
9) wages have fallen so now you need dual income
10) dual income means kids need to go to day care
11) day care is as expensive as a private school

Who would bring a child to this world when the above will take place and it will be worse and worse? Sure, you may think your child will be a 4.0 GPA guy/gal who volunteered to save stray dogs and homeless people, got a karate black belt and was a community organizer for his district, therefore he/she will get an ivy league PhD (which will be the new bachelor's in the future) so he can be middle class (what, you thought I'd say rich? LMAO NO) and afford to send his one kid to day care after getting in heavy debt for it. But I am not sure that is a good life to live, where kids are no longer kids, where parents can't sleep sure that they will be able to provide for their kids tomorrow and that the world won't be a horrible place to grow up at.

Most likely, yes.

No. People who have biological children are selfish. Adopt if you care about raising a child that much.

I know lol.

As you can see I've put a lot of thought in the topic. I even broke up with a sweet, sweet girl because she wanted to have kids eventually (years from now) and I was clear I did not

4) stop derailing this topic

Guys.... opinion wanted.

I am 26, so is my gf. We have been together since 2009 and we are both in the same boat in life.

She is really pushing hard to have kids, but I don't want to. She knows that we are getting old..

The main reason I don't want kids, is the fact that I don't consider myself an adult yet. In other words, I want to have a steady career, place to live, etc. before taking on the challenge of raising a child.

Aside from that, deep down, I am just not a fan of this world. Why bring another person into it only so that it can suffer the game of life?

Anyways... if I were to have a child, I would do it before 30.

Too old?

I really don't want kids until I feel stable.
