I appreciate that it would be rewarding in many ways
but I can't get over the thought that it might be fucking awful and I don't want to take the risk.

Fair point
I suppose the difficulty is that you have limited time to decide. It's no good when your fifty thinking I wish I'd had kids as the time has passed.

ON the other hand you may see you friends bogged down with sprogs while you surf the world and enjoy yourself!

I just can't see us being able to do it financially for a good while
and being fucking skint while going through it would put massively unnecessary strain on things. I'm happy enough with my reasons for not wanting them, but when I try and tell people I get concerned that they sound massively shallow and self-centred. I don't have a problem with being that way, but don't like other people realising it.

I don't want children because I want to spend my money
on cars, toys and holidays. I'm shallow and I don't care if people know it.

I'd just be a terrible parent.

that too.
people say I'd be great. They clearly don't know me very well at all.
