Never want kids?

TLDR: I don't want kids ever (like 98% certain). I've always known this and it hasn't changed even now being 26 and in a serious relationship. The main reason being I just don't have the urge to want to be a mom but many other reasons as well. Not judging anyone who has kids or want kids just looking for others out there that don't want kids either!

--------------------

I feel like I see so many TTC posts and pregnancy posts and moms etc on here which in correlation to these apps and community makes sense. Just wondering which other women out there never want kids...

I know it is getting more common as generations go on but it is still pretty taboo mostly as you get older and are in a long term committed relationship people start expecting babies haha. I've always known I never wanted kids. At 26 and with my bf for almost 5 years now I and we know that we still don't want kids.

🙅 There are many reasons that add up to this certainty of not wanting kids. I mainly just don't have the urge to want kids I think I would be a great mom but it isn't really what I want to spend my life doing.

🌎 Environmentally I think humans are far to overpopulated and are just a burden on the earth, other living beings, other humans, the future etc. Which is also why I have always been for adoption and if I did ever change my mind down the line would want to adopt.

💵 I don't want to struggle financially because of kids I want to finish paying off our home and be set in life and travel and otherwise enjoy life and splurge because we can.

🔗Most people think this the main reason I don't want kids but we didn't even know about this when I was already convinced I didn't want kids. I have a genetic syndrome BCCNS that has a 50/50 chance being passed to any offspring. My own problems with the syndrome are even minor compared to other people with the syndrome and this has already cost my parents well into the 10,000s of dollars for my medical bills and will continue to cost money, not to mention the pains and self confidence problems etc.

🌞 atheism and general depression and such add into me never wanting kids the pointlessness of life a long with all the other negative things in life I wouldn't want to put another living being through that just by giving birth to them

💑 and in all honesty as just another little thing to add in to the certainty of never wanting kids I don't know how great of a father my bf would make there is also quite a bit of addiction, craziness, anger that is in his family and him even though he controls it well especially around me and probably around children if we had any but I wouldn't want to add that stress in his life to find out

... and pregnancy does not sound fun haha mostly with me being so nutritionally deficient and unhealthy in general as it is

Literally the only thing that makes me feel a little bad about not wanting kids is I know my parents want to be grandparents and they would make great grandparents. I have 2 sisters so hopefully they pop out a baby sooner rather than later. My parents know I don't want kids I just try not to push the certainty at least until one of my other sisters has a baby lol.

My older sister is already 30 and had been with her boyfriend for several years as well I knows she wants to be a mom as she tweets her fears about being a bad mom sometimes she might not have a lot of patience all the time but I think she will be great. My younger sister is 22 and just got engaged to her boyfriend who she had been with for a year or 2 already. They plan to get married in 2020 I would assume they will have a kid or kids as well he already has a daughter as well.

My boyfriend's younger sister who just turned 20 already has a daughter who will be 2 in December.

As people say you never know and me being realistic still let there be a little possibility for us to have kids in the future but that is like 2% if that haha.

Anyways just felt like making this post to see if there is any other woman on here not wanting kids. To share my thoughts on why I don't want kids though understand the main reason is because I just don't have that urge to want to be a Mother. Also I have nothing else against other people wanting kids or having kids etc just saying it isn't for me. Though I do wish more people would look into and consider adoption.
