I have no children either. I am not totally against the concept. When I was younger, I considered the possibility that I would delay until older. Now that I am older, I donā€™t want to deal with child rearing either.

If someone could birth me a mostly independent 16 or 18 year old, I would go with that :stuck_out_tongue: .

I will never have kids. I donā€™t think its fair on my children as I donā€™t think Iā€™d by emotional available for them enough of the time.

I recently watched my ex brother in laws 2 year old for a few hours. It was enough to remind how little I would look forward to dealing with that everyday.

I am child free by choice. My reasons are pretty simple. I donā€™t want to bring another life into this world when it will inevitably suffer. Especially as the world around us seems to worsen daily.

That and I saw how easy it was for my parents to miss the signs of mental illness and abuse in me despite their love. I donā€™t ever want to be so distracted from my child that I miss something like that. With the schizophrenia I am frequently distracted from everything.

My brains messed up and I canā€™t have it affecting more people than it already is.

I hope that doesnā€™t come off as a slight to those who want or have children. These reasons are strictly why I personally will never have kids.

Iā€™ve thought about your situation and Iā€™m wondering do you really think you were selfish? I donā€™t really see it that way. I would imagine it takes a very giving person to hand over a biological child to someone else so that they may have a family and so that the child would have the best parents for the job.

I never wanted children either. Iā€™m married for ten years now but fortunately never fell pregnant. Iā€™m glad to be child free, it would have been too high stress for me. My mom and pdocs thought so too.

Thank you, @Leaf.

I appreciate that.

It wasnā€™t a typical adoption,

The adoption benefited both parties a great deal.

And Iā€™m so grateful to be part of his life.

Itā€™s really magical.

The whole experience.

But I do think my reasons were rooted in fear and selfishness.
