Are these good reasons to not want kids or am I overreacting?!


Question: Are these good reasons to not want kids or am I overreacting!?
Hello,

I am in my late 20's, college educated, all that good stuff!. I have always said I didn't want kids, I never been in a "real" relationship!. Sometimes I want children, sometimes I don't!. The real reasons I say I don't want kids are 3 reasons: because I'm scared of how the kid will turn out!. I watch that show "intervention" and feel so sorry for those parents, they look so tired! What if my kid turned out to be a dead beat drug addict!? The second reason is I never been around many kids so I don't know if I would be a good parent and the last reason is (as bad as it sounds) I can't see myself being responsible for someone for 18 years and beyond, it's just too long!. I told my female friend who is a single mom with 2 kids and she said they are "dumb" reasons not to have kids!. She said when I find the right man thoughts will change but I don't think so!. I would like to know what parents think because I'm trying to figure things out for my life as I search for a serious partner!. TY!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Not everyone has the skills to be a good parent, and the cost of being a bad one can be terrible!. Keep the question open, but trust your judgement more than anyone else's!.

No kids of my own, none likely at my age, and I'm sure it's the right choice!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Those sound like good reasons to me!. It's clear that you've thought this out, but remember that when you get older you'll begin to ask yourself if you have fulfilled life and you'll want to make sure that you've made your mark in the world!. For a lot of adults, the answer to those questions is having kids!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you still have time to think about it!. go with your gut feelings-if you truly dont think its for you dont have them!. when you have kids, if your a good parent, you give up your own life!. maybe someday if you meet the right person and does want children that will help you make your descision!. you might change your mind but kids are great but their alot of work!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

i think they're good reasons but maybe when you do meet the right man your might change your mind!. but thats totally your choice, not mine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Those were really good reasons!. You're not over reacting!. I don't really think you'll change your mind even you got Mr!. Right!. It never happened to me!. I do want to have one until I saw my sister-in-law gave birth!. When I saw a lots of women feeling, I changed my mind!. I will never ever want to be pregnant anymore!. Trust me!. Normal or C-section!. None of them are painless!.

if your gut is telling you that you don't want to have kids by all means get on birth control and stay on it

the right guy for you may not want to have kids either so don't worry about if you should or shouldn't
kids are a huge responsibility and they are in your life forever and ever

you can aways borrow a relatives child to see if you like it later

my sister never wanted to have kids and had a very happy life
i have 2 and the work never endsWww@Answer-Health@Com
