The rising counterculture of being an adult without kids.

[J-GUTTA]

IMO it's the way to go and I have kids and for the most part way past the party life so it's not like I feel like I'm missing much. My older brother 38 and so is his girl and they dont want kids. Just keeping it funky if i could do it over yo........sshhhhiiiitttttt.

I got 8 kids, I'm exhausted and got a bad ankle from stepping on toys every day. I wear a condom and pull out now, never can be too careful.

I think it's too many people out here that have kids and either never wanted them or don't deserve them.

I'm 27 no kids but I have 2 young sisters and a nephew so I'm not missing the presence of a child in my life.

My little sisters are 4 and 8.

my father asked me when I was gonna start having kids.I told him whenever he stops, lol.

Coincidentally I just watched an episode of SVU where it was revealed that this dude had 20 kids. He was addicted to procreation. The baby's mommas had no idea what he was doing until the detectives brought them all in to confront him. He was like, 'bro ya i actually got way more than this, you fuckfaces only looked me up in NY. peep my work across the country and even in europe.'

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.

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...

I see what you mean, but none of the people I know with kids are married or are even close to 25. many of them had kids when they were still 16-18, and of course they are jobless and not in school, single, and still living in their parent's household.

With technology and mainstream pop cultures current state, I dont plan to have kids in todays society. This world is getting crazier and crazier every year. Its just not the same like it was back in the day. Shits fucked up. This world is already over populated. If I wanna play with kids or give advice, ill visit my nieces and nephews.

 

[edwardnigma]

I waited and im ready to have kids and a wife.

Not forcing it because im good by myself,but knowing and understanding that made me say ok, I can do it now.

So I need that dance partner and I gotta connect with that woman

It wont be all about looks,matter of fact its gonna be about chemistry and personality.

Chemistry first, personality second, looks last.

Looks change but so does personality....n some peoples personality change drastically

So how she and I interact is the most important thing to me,thats the hardest to change

I think that effects the child the most,i have to be with the right woman and I want to be with the right woman

 

[fuc_i_look_like]

this nigga @pralims said at least have a good reason to not have kids. Lol what in the FUCK? That's possibly one of the dumbest statements I've ever heard in my life. A m'fucca don't need a reason to not reproduce, not wanting no damn kids is the only reason u need, period. If anything, ppl who decide to have kids should have a good reason to reproduce.

Bruh, just move to the South, the West (certain parts), or somewhere other than the US if u feel that way. I feel u tho, sadly ALOT of these offsprings aint shit and never will be. Same with the women who helped make them, yall will c later in life, just watch. U got all tha time in tha world

Like I said man. Technology & U.S. mainstream pop culture. I'm currently living in South East Asia right now on business and these kids nowadays are so caught up in trying to be westernized that their favorite shows are "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" "Pawn Stars" or "Jersey Shore." (currently showing the older seasons but its new to them here) and they think that lifestyle is normal/acceptable because its from the States. I shit you not. Kids with bootleg "YMCMB" snap backs. It's crazy.

 

[Rock_Well]

My moms want me to make her a grandma so bad these days lol. I feel her but just not ready for all that right now. I do want kids but only after I get my career start taking off

 

[BelovedAfeni]

Shit is sad

even if u are a bad father or mother

no one deserves to not be given the chance to have children

goddamn

the community cant be that fucked up

where we look at kids as a bad thing

and value money over everything

 

[black caesar]

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.

Let me get this straight. A person is selfish if they don't want kids? You can't be serious.

Its called making wise choices. How many times have you heard niggas pushing drugs & robbin or bitches selling pussy & strippin or playing other dudes to "Provide for their children."

If you cant afford to have kids, dont! Its called thinking ahead. 30 minutes of satisfaction will cause you a lifetime of stress if you dont have the financial security to provide for your children. That selfishness in my book.

 

[powerman 5000]

I had no idea it was a "counterculture" I just called it doing what I wanted to do. Ya'll worrying too much about what other people think, as usual.

 

[2stepz_ahead]

like i said...i can understand someone not being ready...but most people arent ready. you never ready like you think you would be.

i can understand being selfish, but after a certain age...dont say its because you selfish. thats a young mans excuse.

Per wiki:

Counterculture (also written counter-culture) - a subculture whose values and norms of behavior deviate from those of mainstream society, often in opposition to mainstream cultural mores.

A countercultural movement expresses the ethos, aspirations, and dreams of a specific population during a well-defined era. When oppositional forces reach critical mass, countercultures can trigger dramatic cultural changes.

I think by definition alone, this qualifies.

 

[caddo man]

I'm only 26. Fuck a marriage/kid right now. Maybe in 7 or 8 years...maybe

I quoted this because the majority of you are at least this age or younger. Stop thinking about this shit. You should have more important things to think about like....................................................................if jeans shorts are really out of style.
