Because children are disgusting little goblins and whenever one shows up and starts bawling at aisle 3, it ruins everyone's day. They should be banned from public areas and the parents should be heavily fined for any disturbance.

---

I'm not convinced I'd be able to provide my kid(s) with a better life than I had myself.

---

Time, Money, Stability, I have none of those

---

Can barely run my own life. It would be very irresponsible to have a child. Plus with how everything is going downhill I'd hate to bring in another life to suffer in this world.

---

I have no interest, couldn't take care of one anyway, and the world is a shitheap so why subject someone else to that?
---

They wouldnt enhance my life in any way.

---

Don't feel like I'd be a good parent

---

Because children disgust me. They make my skin crawl.

---

I can't even take care of myself lol

https://www.divorcesource.com/blog/why-women-file-80-percent-of-divorces/

Back in the bad old days when California lawmakers debated the wisdom of liberalizing the states divorce laws, many conservatives voiced concerns that relaxed laws would encourage a restless man to walk out on unwanted marriages, leaving indigent wives and impoverished children. Like so many questions argued abstractly, experience has proven the fears misplaced.

According to the National Center for Health Statistics, about 50 percent of marriages in the United States end in divorce, and about 80 percent of the divorces are initiated by women. That 50 percent is often quoted and it is probably on the high side, but it is illuminating that 80 percent of the divorces are filed by the wife.

This statistic suggests that more women are unsatisfied with their marriages, at least to the point of ending them, than men. Some marriages end for very objective reasons, such as physical abuse or addictions, and there are certainly many reasons for the dissatisfaction that exists. However, the husband and his actions or his lack of them play a significant role in causing and sustaining the dissatisfaction.

Of course, the news of a divorce of a couple in a long-term marriage 10 years or more jolts family and friends who are shocked to hear of a marital failure when it concerns a couple who spent more than a decade together. People wonder how the partners could have invested so much time into their relationship, only to abandon it...

Why would I? My wife and I can do what we want, when we want. We can spend our money on whatever we choose and we aren't responsible to anyone but each other when it comes to making decisions.

I don't hate children, I just have no interest in raising one and because I married a woman who feels the same, it's not an issue for our relationship.

---

Because I see no realistic prospect for a happy, healthy life for anyone born today due to the impending end of earth's ability to support life

I would have to give up my already limited free time. I could afford a child but we'd be way less financially flexible if we did. Kids kinda annoy me, and looking at me and my family tree, there's a good chance my kid would be a little asshole that without my literal constant intense guidance would turn out a neet, criminal, or embarrassment to me.

I can't live without myself if my child was attacked by one of them.

Again I looked and saw all the oppression that was taking place under the sun: I saw the tears of the oppressed and they have no comforter; power was on the side of their oppressors and they have no comforter. And I declared that the dead, who had already died, are happier than the living, who are still alive. But better than both is the one who has never been born, who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun.

If someones going to act childish around here its going to be me goddamn it.

---

I dont have the time or the money to take care of kids.

---

It's not that I don't want kids necessarily, but I would never be able to take care of them financially until I was an old man at least.

---

Because Im a selfish person who just wants to live his life the way he wants.

Wife and kids mean I get less time to
do what I want so I dont want them.

---

Money,time,public school environment now,climate later and having to deal with the mother.

If I won big in the lottery or something I might adopt when im ready.
