The rising counterculture of being an adult without kids.

[KingFreeman]

Not everybody built for that shit. Plain and simple. Some ppl are sour, some selfish, some immature, some just uniterested and some are literally not built for that shit. I don't there's anything wrong with that. If more ppl were interested and committed to raising their children as best they could the world would undoubtedly be a better place than it is. Too many ppl having babies cause they didn't use protection, were lonely, as a way to tie someone down, because of family pressures, or because society says you should, as opposed to ppl that generally just want to nurture and teach a child. If u ain't about that then u and everyone else is better off if u just stay alone or in a relationship minus the children.

I would figure in a world where the population is almost 8 billion and on the SERIOUS verge of overpopulation in some places, that a few million people choosing not to breed is a great thing. Why is there always some bullshit stigma attached when people don't want to follow "nature" on this topic?

"Something must be wrong with her...why would she turn down motherhood?"

"He a selfish nigga, that's why he don't have kids."

"Not grown enough"

"Irresponsible."

"Broke."

"Gay."

Seriously. The fuck is right with this line of thinking? Why must EVERYONE that choses to follow their path on this issue and not have kids (or get married, for that matter) be assumed to have something 'off' with them?

I only want kids when I have the means to support them and not be on welfare. I aint gonna be ready for that till like 30 or 35. Fuck having my kids go to a shitty school and have struggle. I ain't trying to have them be made fun of cuz they have walmart brand nikes like I did. I want them love their life not hate it cuz we are poor

 

[haute]

i have no desire for children at all

And getting married isn't on my to do list

However if a relationship developed to that point I would consider taking a trip to city hall

<< late twenties no kids...maybe one day

I got 2 sisters and a cousin who have no desire to have any...Its nice to see in a woman instead of the norm for black women being a mother a few time over b4 the age of twenty..

and Ive been called selfish for not wanting kids in my twenties

 

[SleepwalkingInJapan]

[Colin$mackabi$h]

Babies and bitches cost money. I'd rather make money for myself right now.

 

[Trollio]

if u not bout having kids,dont have them

if you bout having kids, raise them

people just need to shut the fuck up and live they own life

 

[Copper]

sometimes when Im out in public and I see a couple with an ugly ass kid I shudder and think to myself "how do they do it?" and "Im I supposed to love my child if it comes out lookin like a swamp opposum?"

or sometimes I see a bad ass kid and want to punch him in the back of the head...this might be a sign that the parental life aint for me

i found it shocking when people i knew started having kids, but that was nothing compared to these people now being on their second, a few even on their third kids.

this chick i know has a son. she asked me when i'm gonna have kids, 'cause she thinks they would be cute.. she started talking like i need to settle down and raise a family. i'm 22. she's like 20-21. collectively, my generation is out its damn mind.

 

[LUClEN]

I contemplated not having kids for a long time. Decided I'm probably going to adopt - take in a trouble youth and turn him into a Rhodes scholar

Raising kids to be responsible adults is a greatly overlooked contribution to this world.

i was once told that I needed a kid b/c I needed something to take care of....by a 19yr old with 2 kids....from 2 deadbeat ass kneegas

 

[Jacquees]

if you dont want kids because you have goals, or are too young or not ready is one thing...

but for people who dont want kids because they are just selfish i never understood.

you are put here to pass grow, progress and pass along your knowledge and love so the next in your lineage can progress further.

too may people want to live it up and party without responsibility.

who the hell said that bull shit you talking. I don't see anywhere in the bible where it says "You Are Put On This Earth To Reproduce Lil Ankle Bitters Who Grow To Become Average Ass People" if I want to party all my life and care only for myself then who the fuck are you to tell me I cant. hell if you really care so much go have enough kids for the both of us like octomom did. then ask the government for help ole dumbass nigga.

Not really past generations usually were married and had at least one kid by the time they were 25. The whole idea of waiting to have a family is fairly new...

 

[blackrain]

I'm 29 with no kids. Most chicks think I hate kids because I don't have any but in reality I'm just waiting until I am where I want to be in my life. I do want some one day though, but there's no pressure or rush.

Exactly..I'm 27 will be 28 this year and in the same boat. I love kids, my nephews are a huge part of my world and I'd do anything on this earth for them 2 boys to get whatever they needed. However, I don't want my own kids right now. Maybe one day even within a year or two I'll have that desire but as for now it's not something I'm actively thinking about at the moment

 

[playmaker88]

How is this counter culture.

 

[blackrain]

To actually say I want a woman to bear my child, that's some serious, deep shit to me. That's not nothing I take lightly just on some "Oh she's a bad chick and I think our DNA would work well together." I don't see how niggas just treat that shit like some side activity. That don't register to me

 

[Copper]

its hard to find a woman with this same mentality

 

[Ajackson17]

I will be procreating soon....
