Yes! Like so many parents don’t enjoy being parents, it makes no sense why they had children.

what's wrong with being selfish when it doesn't effect anyone else. if you don't want kids because you want your free time it's selfish but not in

The way I see it, if I regret NOT having kids, that only affects me. If I regret HAVING kids, that affects EVERYONE

Last week I was asked why I didn’t want kids. I answered that after college I’m done living with roommates with their own opinions and lifegoals😁😂

I actually think it would be MORE selfish to have a child to satisfy my own wants when I’m either hesitant or unable to commit 100% of myself to them

I had three. All grown. I *hated* pregnancy and parenting. I love them. Both can be true at once.

I know so many bad parents (not bad people) because they just did it because they were told to. If you’re not 💯 about it spare yourself and the kid

I’m so with you on this! The only difference is when people make the ‘selfish’ comments, I wholeheartedly agree. I’m absolutely selfish and you should

having kids when you don't want them is selfish not the other way around. I don't want kids either

Selfish would be having a kid just bc you’re “supposed to”, then trying to continue to control your free time as if you’re still childfree

Also anyone who doesn't want kids but could be open to it one day. Get a partner. Not a spouse. Someone who will let you have some control of freetime

Speaking as a mom, I don’t think it’s selfish to say you don’t want kids because you value your free time. It would be selfish to feel that way and

It’s better to be selfish and prioritize yourself than having kids because of pressure then resenting everything!

With my adhd I’m already parenting myself just to do basic tasks. Adding an actual kid to the mix would not make that better.
