[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I am starting to get it now that I have a child. 
[b]Not having kids is just protecting oneself from setbacks and disappointments (some would call it lazy and cowardly but who knows).[/b]
One can have an SN child and all that it entails.
Or a child that just isn’t quite the inspiration and pride of their parents.
One can get stuck in a bad marriage due to shared kids
People just avoid vulnerability
One may call it lazy or one might call it smart
I think it’s great to have a choice [/quote]

I'm.pretty sure I just don't want kids. Why is this so difficult for some people to accept?
And before someone asks why I'm on a parenting board, I'm also a nanny and that's how I discovered this place

I think it’s natural to want to experience something new and unique, like becoming a parent (even if one doesn’t have a strong reproductive instinct).
Therefore I think when people avoid it - it means some deep rooted subconscious fears or trauma.
But it’s just my theory, I don’t have a problem with people who don’t want kids. [/quote]

God, you people are bizarre. Childless people’s experience many new and unique things. Having children doesn’t have to be one of them, and no, that’s not “subconscious fears or trauma.” Absurd.
