Does anyone NOT want kids?

06-12-2001, 02:42 PM

I can respect people's opinions of having children and i also REALLY respect anyone who puts in the time to raise children right and to make sure they're loved and to spend time with them. I'm not obsessed with material possesions, they're nice but i'm more interested in security. I'd love to travel and to basically "see the world" and i also like having lots of "quiet time", i'm a real private person and always have been. I also understand how people feel that something is "lacking" in their life or decide that life is meaningless unless they have THEIR OWN kid, but i'd rather be financially set and ready to spend lots of time with a child as well as have a concrete relationship with a woman before getting a child, whether it's the fruit of my loins or someone elses. I'm not saying that you can't be a great parent without these things, it's just i'd want to commit fully to a child. Now to the point that at this time in my life i can't see myself having a child because i am VERY far from settling down, i can see a distant "possibility" of me wanting a rugrat in the distant future, but i'd actually rather adopt. Since i live in seattle, just about 50% of women over 20 have kids so finding a kid without a dad is no problem either. I guess i just don't understand people who think I HAVE TO HAVE KIDS, or who are certain i'll change my mind. I may, and i understand that i may, but probably not. I'd much rather regret not being able to produce a child of my own than to bring an unwanted child into this world.

*I just want to point out that i respect all the comments made in this post
