Why Women don't want kids

Why regretting having kids

By Nav k AidanPublished about a year ago 5 min read

"Why don't some women want kids? Because they've already got a full-time job managing their plants, pets, and partners! Plus, who needs a tiny human when you can have a quiet house, a clean car, and the freedom to binge-watch Netflix without interruptions?"

Well jokes apart seriously, some of the women don't want to raise a kid, instead they choose to raise a dog.

i saw women saying about their feeling having kids, here are some

1. A woman said "I'm nearly 38, and I still don't want kids — I never have. Honestly, the thought of another person being dependent on me for the rest of my life absolutely terrifies me. However, not a single person in my life who matters has ever questioned my decision; they all accept me for me, and that's the way it should be for everyone. I can't imagine a child knowing their parent doesn't want them."

2. "I decided not to have children, and I think I would have been a terrible mother. I have no problem believing I would give every ounce of myself to care for a child — I just know I'd burn out. I know I'd neglect my own needs, and I’d be unable to function — I also don’t want to make another me. People ask things like: 'Don’t you want to make someone with your kind of intelligence?' I live in this brain, and I would not want to inflict my depression, anxiety, and OCD on my kid, so no. 100% no."

3."I've spent years and years and years telling people, 'No, I don't want kids and no, my mind won't ever change.' They're STILL not listening to me or validating my choices. So, I have gone the 'mean' route (sorry, not sorry). I've started to just be really blunt with people when they keep pushing, and that eventually wards them off. I've tried being nice, polite, and mature about it for years to no avail. These people can't respect my choices, so why should I respect their feelings after telling them for the 300th time that my decision to remain child-free has not changed?"

4."From the time I was 13, I have said that I would never have kids. Of course, I got the usual 'Wait until you’re older — you’ll change your mind.' But the one that really ticked me off was people saying that once you have your own child, it is completely different. I wanted to ask whether they would raise my kid if I decided I still didn’t want one. Children are not like fish — you can’t 'throw them back' if you decide it was a bad idea."

5. "As a teenager who was able to process my parents' divorce, I realized I didn't want to raise a child if it happened to me. But also, when my nieces and nephews were born, I realized they could solely depend on me to care for them for years. I saw how postpartum affected my sister and the struggles she went through. I became way more comfortable with wanting to be child-free once meeting my current boyfriend, who also doesn't want children and said that it was okay not to want them 100%."

6."My fiancé and I are both in our thirties. We’re both in a shitty spot mentally and have been for a while. We're finally starting to dig ourselves out of it, and the older we get, the more it’s looking like kids won’t happen. Aside from all that, we’re both bad with money and definitely can’t afford a kid now. Everyone around us has more than one. I get overwhelmed playing with my niece and nephew for more than an hour, so kids might not be in the cards, and that’s just fine. Forcing people to have children they don’t want is more selfish than not wanting to have kids in the first place."

7."I’m 36, and my boyfriend is 40. Every time we take a random nap, see a screaming child in public or decide to get drunk and scream karaoke in our living room, we high-five each other. We talk about how happy we are not to have kids. We love the freedom and extra money, and neither of us have ever wanted kids."

8 "I don't want children (never have, never will), and there are a number of reasons for that, but one is that I have a lot of health problems. So not only would I not be able to physically care for a child, but I'm pretty sure they'd also have health problems, too. That doesn't seem to be a valid reason to a lot of people, and it apparently makes me selfish 🙃."

9."For some reason, because of COVID, this is the first time in my life no one has argued with me when I've told them I don't want any kids — it's like I'm finally being heard. When I was six years old, I told my older cousin, 'I don’t know why people have kids — they should just get more dogs,' and I still feel the exact same way."

10. "I’ve known I don't want kids my entire life — I dislike everything about children. I don’t want to put myself through pregnancy, and I don’t want to put all of my time and money into raising one. It’s not my dream or my passion, and there are millions of other people out there who can do that instead. I will live my life how I want, just like they do."

These are some people on the Internet who dont want to have kids or rejecting the idea of having kids.

From my experience why people regret having kids are i will give couple examples

1. once when i was waiting for an elevator on a 5th floor, A man and his 5 year old son are also waiting for the elevator, little boy shouted same pinch, his dad was busy on his mobile. i asked him what? he replied your shirt color matches my underwear, he immediately showed me, and he then pulled his dad shorts, my dad's is also same. he shouted "same pinch, same pinch"

that man was shocked , and dropped his mobile phone, he smiled awkwardly and he then pick his kid ran back to his apartment.

2. This time, I was rented in an open terrace apartment, we share terrace with my neighbors ,they have two kids, both kids make too much noise. elder one is lucky , younger one name is apple, one night we heard a loud bang sound, it came from terrace when we went out and saw there was a broken water container, people use to store water in those container ,they are nearly 4 to 5 ft tall.

when we asked them what happened , both are blaming each other and crying, when their parents asked they said they were playing, it was accidentally kicked by little brother and it was broken.

sometimes they do make hell of noise, they threw stones at people and hide, they sing very loudly. they lock doors from outside , they rub chocolate to door nobs.

well these are my personal experience with naughty kids, may be this is the one of the reason , why people don't want kids
