The brief time that this girl was super into me and seemed to be hinting for me to ask her out, I didn't think she would be a good mother.

I want kids so badly. Most of my co-workers are younger and have kids already. They assume I do too...

I don't know what's wrong with me. What makes me such a worthless prospective date/bf/husband/father. It just seems to be a natural law that I'm somehow unfit to be with anyone or have a family of my own.

I honestly wouldn't put such effort into wanting that. Obviously it's not all bad but just be happy with your current financial problems

i saw a post that summed it up pretty well

raising a kid is the one decision that you cannot opt out of, period

you can quit a job, you can get a divorce, you can move to a different house, but you cannot un-have a child, so a decision that big needs to be something that you 100% with every fiber of your being want to do

having kids should be an opt-in decision

The person that I pay will take care of me when I'm old. I'll be able to afford that because of all the extra money I have laying around because I didn't have kids. I'd rather it be a cut and dry situation instead of being a burden on a loved one.

Who's going to take care of you when you grow old?

People always say this, but unless you're Asian or from a (non-Western) culture they are most probably just going to throw you into a home to rot. It basically never works out the way everyone thinks where the kids welcome the parent(s) into their home and take care of them in their final years. I can understand it from both ways. You looked after them when they needed you, they should return the favour, right? Though at the same time, the kids are probably trying to start a family of their own and carve out their own path in life. Looking after a parent (especially a sick one) can be a burden and they might be more comfortable just letting professionals in a home take care of it.

To be completely honest, I'm struggling too much in life right now to even consider having kids. I know people still find ways of making it work and I'm sure I could do that too. I just wonder what kind of life they would have, and will they still be able to make a life for themselves in another 20+ years or will they have even less opportunities than I do now? That sort of thing. To me it's not something that I would consider a light decision to make. I won't have kids just because I think it would be cool to be a dad or because my girlfriend wants a cute baby or whatever. That's stupid. I want them to have the best possible future, and if I can't provide that, I don't really want to bother.

It's probably because I'm selfish but mainly because I don't want the responsibility.

My gf and I are almost mid 30's and people are always giving us shit for not wanting kids. We usually just lol but some people seem strangely affected by a decision that doesn't effect them.

But seriously though kids are expensive, and right now that's kind of overriding my biological urge to procreate. I'm in the process of trying to build wealth and assets. I want to make sure that I have my kid in a good spot to succeed.

Also I'm 34, if I have children first off I want to be married.

"You don't know the joy! Y-you don't know the joy!" It's always folks that have kids that try to pressure people without kids to start making babies.

Meanwhile y'all are going where you want and doing whatever you want to do lol.

you'll never be ready. and they'll never be a right time for it.

The most expensive part of having a child is the daycare. Food and clothes cost next to nothing. And if you have a solid family they will help you so much that the impact is hardly felt. My parents and my wife's parents spoil the fuck out of our kids. And are constantly buying them clothes, diapers, and toys.

I love doing what I want when I want and being my own person. I've seen so many people have kids and their lives just revolve around it. I also have autism, so I'm not that great at handling stressful situations. If you can handle the stress and having your life revolve around another person then great. I hope it works out for you. But I like my life the way it is.
