Why Don't You Have Kids?

[FunInTheSunParticipant 8283]

During casual conversations with my peers, I’ve been asked why I don’t have kids from time to time. It’s not easy for me to answer this question on the spot, because there are several reasons why I choose not to have kids.

My reasons:

1. I don’t like my life at all. My life is stressful, and I struggle to earn money. I wouldn’t want my children to grow up to be like me: bitter and broke. I don’t want to tell my children that life sucks. I want to tell them that they can pursue their interests without other people making up rules and laws to restrict their efforts. And I don’t want to tell them that they can’t go to a certain university because it costs $100,000 to $200,000. In my personal life, people have gone out of their way to get in my way. They had nothing better to do with their lives than to do something to disturb me and ruin my day. I don’t want to pass that legacy on to my kids–if I decided to have any.

2. Children make too much noise and need constant attention. I used to babysit my sibling’s kids, and they would cry for all sorts of stupid reasons. No amount of consoling would inspire them to stop crying. I value having some quiet time when I come home from work. I don’t want to come home to some crying baby after 8 hours of dealing with obnoxious customers.

3. How can I create a G rated environment for kids in an R rated society? Sure, I cuss like everyone else—but I keep my dirty conversations PRIVATE. And I wish everyone else would do the same. My parents raised me a certain way. They didn’t have potty-mouths in public and seldom in private. If I had kids, I’d want to pass on that code of conduct to them. I don’t want to constantly ask potty-mouthed adults and teens to please mind their language because I have a child with me. Everywhere I go: the grocery store, the bank, the post office, etc., there are people are on their smart phones engaged in some nasty argument with someone—they spew out the nastiest words in the dictionary. I used to go to a Catholic school, and the nuns would wash out your mouth with soap if they heard you say a cuss word. I swear, I spent most of my childhood afraid to cuss because of that. I wish I could send a gang of nuns to attack these potty-mouthed people.

And another thing: G rated movies used to be popular. Some of them were fun for the whole family. Now most movies that are marketed to kids have PG or PG-13 ratings. Why do these movie producers market such movies to kids when they know they contain adult humor, violence, or references to sex? And daytime television used to be G rated as well. Now it’s 90% adult entertainment.

4. There used to be a time, long ago, when a man’s wife and children belonged to him. He was the king of his castle. He made the rules, and that was that. My society won’t allow that anymore. If I had children, they could be taken away at any time by the government after a divorce or if I gave them a well-deserved spanking. I don’t understand why some family court judges don’t see the value of letting children have relationships with their fathers. They are blatantly anti-male. A woman can easily pick up the phone and make a false report about her husband being abusive to her—and here comes the cops to take him away. So the authority of the king has been replaced by the queen. And because my government gives deference to the queen, there’s no incentive for me to have princes and princesses. I’d rather live in an empty castle.

I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was ‘No.’" (Atlas Shrugged)

Because they are never “my kids”. They are the mother’s children, and I get nothing out of it but the mother teaching the kids to hate me, while I would be forced by the government to pay for everything, until threat of imprisonment without trial.

This is why I refuse to have children.

While I do feel the biological urge to breed, I’ve never wanted to have kids and made that clear to my ex’s.

Overpopulation, declining standard of living, and the time and energy required to properly educate them (I would not rely on our schools to educate my child) are the main reasons I’m childfree. And abortions are legal.

Self-improvement is my religion. Sovereignty is my god.

Here is an easy answer: According the guberment raising a child to age 18 costs $320,000. You got that kind of cash?

I’ll skip all the doors and boxes, just give me the money up front. It’s not “Lets Make a Deal“, its “I will keep what’s already mine, thank you very much.”

The whole gender war is very sad. There are a lot of men out there that want a wife and children but are rightfully afraid to get into an LTR. What the woman can do and have done to the man is truly frightening. Women need to be put back under the yoke of responsibility and have the vote taken away. No-fault divorce laws need to be repealed and canceled. When that happens women will be happier and males will become the men again that women truly want. As it stands now the young males of this world are feminized and are pathetic in young women’s eyes. In the past where if a man didn’t want to deal with society he could just go someplace where there weren’t any people. Now, the best a man can do is just try to hide and not to get noticed and hide in plain view.

The biological desire to mate and procreate is very strong. For men it is mostly sex but men are willing to take on the responsibility of wife and children and be held responsible by society for them. He was also given the privileges that came with the responsibilities of having a wife. Women were less choosy about the man they would marry as long as he could obtain the resources necessary to provide for her and any children she might have.

Women need to be kept out of higher institutions of learning since all most of them do is take completely useless courses or simply don’t apply the useful ones they do take for very long. There are women who trained to become medical doctors that may practice for a few years and then quit because “It’s too hard”. We need women Doctors to help with female medicine. Women try to break the “Glass Ceiling” only to completely bring down an otherwise prosperous company. Women become managers only to fire hardworking men that are actually propping up the company. Then when the company is failing and these women get fired they wonder what happened. Except for having children women have shown themselves to be practically useless and even detrimental to society as a whole unless they are supervised by a man. Women have shown how they are when they are not held accountable and they have shown it big time.

Women's brains and vagina have one thing in common. There is nothing in there until a man puts something in there.

I just think that bringing a life into this f~~~ed up world is a despicable act.

Only a selfish, cruel and sadistic person wold do such a thing.

To those following me, be careful, I just farted. Men those beans are killers.

Add to the list:

I decline to provide women with more victims and the government with more cannon-fodder.

You know how many times over I could travel the world with $320,000? Fk raising some little s~~~!

Destruction of freedom is my #1. My life stops being about my wants, needs, happiness and progress and turns into catering to their wants, needs which would drain all of my time and finances. I don’t feel like sacrificing essentially my happy life to bring another kid into the already over populated world

Second would be, you’re tired to some woman for at least 20 years if not longer in some form or another.

You are a man and do not need a “reason” to not have kids if you don’t want them. I have two friends who started dating at 21 and are still together at 49. They chose in the beginning to not have kids and still don’t to this day. The baby urge never came and they are happy with their decision (and man did she hit the wall in her late forties:). They are good people and I can only respect someone who makes and sticks to their decision to not have children.

If it is a dream of yours to have a family then you can tell them there are no good women left.

Everyday above ground is a good one. Everyday above ground while single...better still.

[ScarberianMPTGLParticipant 3286]

I don’t want ’em. I see the little snot-nosed brats running around being annoying little f~~~s(as they tend to be) everywhere I go and think “I really don’t wanna have to deal with this for several hours a day 7 days a week”. Besides, I barely make enough money for myself, I gotta worry about providing for a kid or 2 as well? FTS.

[OneTrueMisfitSpectator 2690]

Because one of my friends who had kids swore to me to never have kids. I mean it wasn’t some one-off thing he said one time, he made it very clear that he meant what he meant and gave me a stern warning.

That same friend went and hung himself in a tree after his girlfriend left him and took the kids. He was 22 I think.

Don't care

Nope. But if I could save up $320,000 in my bank account during the next 18 years, I’d be happy as hell!

It is grueling at times and you constantly worry you are not providing a good enough life for them.
If I understand your name correctly Scarberian MGTOW I’ll be driving by your place next week. I’ll wave as I go by.

Don’t you want children?

No.

Aren’t you afraid of dying alone?

No.

No is all that is required. They can’t rationalise or process your more in depth reasons. More importantly they don’t care and you can’t change their view point.

No, just NO.

Luck.

It’s not because I practiced safe sex that is for damn sure.

The number of women who will go raw today is astonishing.

Giving a complete answer is failing the s~~~ test. Explaining your answer is diving head first into the cesspool.

Stick to minimal truths.
It isn’t right for me.
That’s a bad idea.
That’s not my future.
I’m not ready to raise kids.

I’ll wave back, though I doubt you’ll see it since I live pretty high up.
