To Conservatives: I do not want kids, so get over it!!!!!

151. I agree with you and I think men should be just as thoughtful as to whether they want children

I think the pressure is not completely on the wife, but the husband as well. There is nothing wrong with not wanting children. I made the decision years at an early age (I was still in college) that I didn't want kids. Why? I honestly don't think I'm the type of person who would be a good parent. Some of it is my own crappy upbringing that I wouldn't want even the remote chance of having that happen to a child I had. Of course there is no definitive way of knowing that would happen, but if deep down you feel it is not the right choice you have to listen to your intuition. People are going to have different reasons for not wanting kids and that should be respected.

Now here is the funny part. I live in South Korea where it is almost seen as a duty to have at least one child. When you tell people you don't have a child they look at you and ask why. It is so much more invasive than in the US, but at some point you just get use to it. The question is almost as bad as when they ask your blood type (they see blood type in relation to personality).
