I will never have or want kids for two reasons.
1.) I don't want to sacrifice my life. I don't want to stay in on the weekends and have to take care of my children, or have to waste weekends on bringing them places like Chuck-E Cheese. I don't want almost all my hard earned cash to go towards my kids. I don't want to supervise or raise my kids and watch over them almost the entire day until they're of a sufficient age. Basically, I want to make the best out of my life and enjoy it while I can since YOLO. Literally. However, there are people out their that DO enjoy raising children or WANT to just be a loving parent and it is one of their dreams or passions. But everyone is different, and that is something that I do not possess the passion for or want to chase after. One of the reasons why I will always respect my parents so much is because they sacrificed so many years of their life raising four children. I could never do it and I commend them for it. They could've had a dream house in Italy, traveled every country in the world, had the weekend streaks of their lives, but instead they chose to settle down and give that all away just to raise four other people at the age of 20.
2.) My kids would probably grow up miserable and hate me for the first 20 years. I would be insanely strict. I see my kid smoking a cigarette or something? Smack. Talking back to me with foul language? Another smack. They would need to be in bed by nine. Dress and carry themselves accordingly. I would never hesitate to smash their video games and take away their cell phones if they were to disobey. There is no "junk" food, you eat what I give you and what I choose to put in the house. Grounded to me is you don't sit in your room and weep and cry all day like a useless slob, you bring your ass into the kitchen and start sweeping and mopping until everything is spotless. Clean the bathroom, yard work, organize the house, etc. etc. And as a matter of fact, I would kick their asses out of the house in a heart beat and disown them if things came to worst and they did not want to listen to me and became like those 14 year old Jerry Springer sluts gone wild. God help my kids if they were to ever grow up and become any of those wrecks.
So yeah, that's why I don't want to have kids. A dog now? Now that is in the realm of possibility. And yeah I probably will die at a very old age all alone, but that's one of the cons of not having kids so I've learned to accept that. lolol
