The way I feel now, makes me want hate men but I don't. We felt we wanted a little family (And trust me, it will be bloody small) but your view is not unique many women have the same opinion. I did have a career but was made redundant last summer (yep pregnant... B'stards). But I always felt I want a couple of kids. My sister has three and my brother has two so guess it was on the cards. I do feel there is more choice for women to do as they wish.I am a mid 30s female so you can imagine how often I get asked about kids. I was never the kid that had dreams of weddings and babies and that hasn't changed as I've gotten older. I adore my nieces and nephew and don't mind kids in general, I just don't want them.
The idea of being responsible for a small person 24/7 for at least 18 years and worrying about them for the rest of my life makes me nauseous.

This is something that has always interested me.
I'm 27 and not at all interested in having kids. I've never really thought much about having my own family but I actually don't mind kids. I just find it hard to relate to them now being away from them for so long. People say that I will change my mind but I've never really had any kind of drive to reproduce. I wonder if there have been people in my situation who where adamant they weren't going to have kids and then ended up with them.
So the point of this discussion is;
Do you have them, and if you do did you always want them or did something change your mind?
Do you want children one day?
or
Are you completely uninterested?
They're only expensive if you're a dumbass with money.Same
Im selfish and they're too expensive
Argh my uncle dropped the line "your parents are hanging out for a grandchild.. " yesterday to me. Jesus christ im 38 and single. Yeah it aint happening sorry for my parents but tough tiddies.

Don't put them in so much childcareReally? I have two under 5 and they cost my 60000 dollars a year in childcare alone. How am I being a dumbarse with money?
Do you realise you're not allowed to send the little buggers down the pit any more?They're only expensive if you're a dumbass with money.
I know of posters on this forum who have become notably nastier once they have had kids. Obviously not the norm but proof that having kids is not always a healthy choice to make for everyone.
Childcare is oversubsidised for kids under school age and not enough for those are primary school age. It's not (or shouldn't be) the governments place to let people pump out a kid, then straight back to work at the taxpayers expense. If you want both parents back at work straight away, that's your choice, but everyone else paying for your kid to be raised by someone else during the formative 0-5 years period is social engineering at its 'finest'.Don't put them in so much childcare

When they reach school age, it's different as childcare is filling in the pre / post school care around work, where Monday - Friday teachers are the adults / role models providing guidance to kids. So it allows parents to work full time, rather than the very restricted number of jobs available that neatly line up with school hours. At this point with it covering the gaps, rather than all day, it's not cost prohibitive on the budget (or the kids emotional development).
