I find it mad that so many people end up having kids tbh. I mean isn't it just easier not to have them? I think lots of people have them because they're in a relationship and that's what they're supposed to do. Doubt I'll be having any but my brother just had one at 43 (an accident) so at least that keeps my mother happy and gets me off the hook.
I also think if you need kids to be happy you're not very interesting and don't know how to enjoy life properly. |

One thing I particularly noticed about census data from the past is the number of people who didn't have kids. It seemed to either be married with 7 kids or not married at all.
I think a lot more people have kids nowadays, just not as many. You don't need to have children to feel fulfilled in life. But there is the big biological clock in the room that nobody is allowed talk about. |

People want kids because they like kids and want their own kids, just like people want pets because they love dogs/cats and want them. People also don't want kids for plenty of reasons (I'm sort of torn, myself) and that's fine too. Why does one side or the other have to be better? It seems people without kids can't accept that having kids can be a really good thing, and likewise people with kids seem to often look down on those without them. There's no wrong decision, either way. Let people do whatever the f*ck they want and stop making sweeping generalizations, basically. |

I just think lots of people have them because they don't know what else to do. We all have an existential crisis at some stage.

![]() Hardly just 30. Loads of women are having healthy babies in their 30s now - and you know this. There's always at least one person who thinks women are idiots, and that they don't know their fertile years have a limit. |

Well it's bad programming if you ask me because there are far too many of us. Plus the programming didn't work for all of us I've no desire to be anywhere near any children!

I certainly know some women who are career orientated, but I don't know any would would put off meeting someone or sacrifice having any kind of romantic relationship for over a decade (12 years, if you count ages 18-30) to focus on that career. Most people who find themselves single at that age are in that position because the relationship(s) they were in throughout their 20's didn't work out, not because they spent the previous 12 years being a cut throat corporate career woman living out of a briefcase. |

How can you find another half when you're already a perfect whole?
