I would always rather regret not having kids than regret having kids, because I fear I would resent them, and it would hurt them so deeply. I don’t want that for anyone

I tell everyone considering kids to get a puppy. Oftentimes that changes people's minds.

Societal pressure and all the internalized messaging we receive as women from such a young age is such a force against our true wants. I feel for OP and honor her raw honesty.

I’m 33, single (never married) had my tubes removed 2 weeks ago and this story just reaffirmed my decision entirely.

I don’t want kids and it scares me because I’m afraid I won’t find a partner who agrees with that position. It can feel quite lonely sometimes

These stories are so important to me. I’m on the fence about kids and hearing all the perspectives helps me identify and make sense of what I’m feeling

I occasionally have baby fever but I just stop and think that 1. It’s a permanent decision to have kids and 2. I will be miserable as a mom.

Interesting thing about listening to these is it made me realize that my own daughter is not interested in having kids and that it’s my job to be OK with that. And I am

People get swept up in the hype about the standard life path: marriage then kids. We need to start helping people realise you don't have to do it!

This is why no amount of love can convince me. I KNOW I would hate my life with a kid. I refuse to romanticize it

It was “head in the clouds”. I feel bad for the kid that she’s now collateral damage in the mom learning to trust her first instinct. Having a human is a heavy price to learn a lesson 🥴

I need to remember this if I ever fall in love again. I’ve always always never wanted to have a child

I’m currently in a place of my life where I’m realizing that “just wait for the right man” is solely based on feelings and I should not have kids out of feelings. It’s a huge logical decision.
