Welcome to /v/Childfree, a place for those who have chosen not to have children.
Rules:
For members:
• Posts must be related to the Childfree lifestyle or issues that pertain to the childfree. Birth control, legislation, kids in places they typically shouldn't be, examples of good/bad parenting, childfree humor/memes, anecdotes, rants and tales of how you spent your weekend are all fair-game topics!
• Keep it civil! No bigotry, racism or hate speech. No personal attacks or abuse. Do not post anything that advocates or depicts violence to children or anyone else. No trolling! I understand once in a while you may get angry, and that is fine. But if you're only here to be nasty and not contribute, you may be warned and eventually banned.
• Don't insult or harass others outside of this subverse for simply disagreeing with you. Do not brigade other subs. Do not post links to other Voat threads; screenshots are fine. If you do visit another sub because of a post you saw here, try not to vote or comment. Since Voat does not seem to have a "no participation" system in place, we'll have to be on the honor system with this one.
For visitors:
• Don't come here just to say how much you hate this subverse and its members.
• Be kind. We don't deserve insults just because we disagree with you.

So, this sub is great for you. You are not weird! There are lots of people like you.
These other people are speaking from their experience and who the hell are they to criticize you and your choices. I think it's foreign to them that you might not want children because they wanted them and cant relate. Then I think about how for the majority of people their biggest accomplishment in life is having a child. They put such importance on it and think you should too. I start to think that sometimes your choice to not have children threatens their very meaning of life.
I wasn't sure for most of my 20's now that I'm in my 30s I am 90% sure I do not want children. It does not take you to be or make you amazing to have a freaking baby. There are plenty of worthless people out there blindly humping and procreating.
Do you know why you do not want babies? For me it is the following top three reasons:
They cost a Ton of money and I cant afford it.
They cost a ton of time and I cannot afford it. They likely have a horrible future ahead of them cleaning up the messes of our parents and us.
Please feel free to Add to my list cause there are just so many reasons not to just go out and bring another being into this already overpopulated world.
