One of the reasons I don't have kids is for purely selfish reasons. Me and the ex agreed that we enjoyed our lifestyle too much and the freedom to be able to fuck off to where we pleased, when we pleased. We did briefly consider it, and she came of the pill for a couple of months, but a weekend visit from my sister and her two little ones shook us back to our senses again. 48 hours of pure noise...

Obviously we're not together anymore (and than christ we didn't have kids, as they'd be facing the prospect of losing their mum at an early age thanks to her inoperable brain tumour) but I still don't have that desire to procreate. Although I am now responsible for a child's welfare, and that's OK.

Colonel Dracula - there are, it would seem from this board, plenty of women out there who don't want kids. It's just finding them that's the problem.

There are also plenty of women (and men) out there who thought that they did want kids, but, on having them, find that they really didn't and are now stuck with them...
