My dd 17 said the same but it’s because she hates kids!

Hey up FG , many who choose not to have children consider various aspects vs a sweeping 'I don't want kids'. How the world was viewed at that time was a factor for me, but mainly I simply hold no maternal instincts, or regrets. I know it's difficult for many to comprehend life without/with bairns, neither make one less whole, with/without, we're all richer in our own ways
Worked with a lass who was beyond desperate for a baby, at least 4 IVF treatments failed, her desperation meant conversation consisted of nothing else and many avoided her. Sadly her obsession damaged her health and her marriage ended, terribly sad for the lass.

I decided not to have kids because I cared about their future - I know I'd have been a rubbish mum as I have no maternal instincts whatsoever and I wouldn't want to put kids through that. My mother never forgave me for not having kids, I became the black sheep of the family.

Reading the news and the sort of life young people have now is more what out me off having children - technology and connectivity are wonderful things - but I wouldn’t like to be 10 again and going through school now. There was something in the news this evening - gun shots in the council estate just outside our town, not what you expect I a surrey town! But we hear about that sort of thing happening all over the place now and I start to fear for the safety of my future children, and what their obligations will be. I think we all have to do our little bit about climate change - but it’s not the thing that’s putting me off having children.
Btw for anyone who’s interested you can return your plastic packaging to waitrose now, it’s placed into the crushing machine and sent off to be recycled with all the plastic outer packaging our local store has a bin for it, but you stick it in the carrier bag recycling or hand it to a partner if your doesn’t.

These things always happened. We are just more aware of them.

Astounded.
This is nothing to do with the posters child or others quoted. But kids today! Really? They really don't know how lucky they are. Really they don't. Get a grip. Think of previous generations. Do they - you really think that in the next 100 years this country where we live isn't going to still be a green and pleasant land? And a place for these kids not to have a fantastic future in? Why should kids not have the joy of planning their futures with families of their own? Extinction? Really ... human extinction through Climate Change makes kids not want to plan their futures. Whose feeding them this c**p? Guess my thoughts won't go down well with some. It's just my opinion! |

But your child may be the person that finds a cure for cancer or finds an alternative energy source. You have to enjoy life and live with your decisions.

[/QUOTE Regardless of climate change, you are obviously unaware of childhood poverty in the UK or the huge numbers of mental health issues in young people if you think a whole generation has it easy ! This forum is obviously not representative of the whole as we can all afford expensive holidays but I am aware of people in real life, working full time who are unable to feed their children and need food banks, I can assure you not all kids are living a privileged lifestyle!

It’s all the attention and media coverage that young people now are subject to.
For me, the younger generation have the exorbitant cost of everything to worry about. I work in a school and have never heard a child mentioning not planning having children because of climate change? but I have heard plenty worrying about money !
