Rajyrr 15656 cr points Send Message: 22 / M / Nova Scotia, Canada Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 2/11/13 Happiness is only experienced when you function best. Such function can only be found within yourself. Virtue, the factor independent of the environment around you, or even your own instincts, is the true key to happiness. Human beings are hard-coded to feel happy when they drink, eat, sleep, or have sex. These are not the epitome of proper function in regards to what can make you happy. Children will not necessarily bring you happiness. They may, in fact, detract from it. Always remember the peace you feel when you read a good book. The peace you feel when you go on a good walk. The peace you feel when you chat with a good friend. These are acts of virtue. Virtue is any act that fulfills proper function, after all. (That includes murder, in the case of homicidal psychopaths, of course.)

As if they couldn't believe their ears. "Why wouldn't you want kids? what would you do when you get old?" OMG JUST WHAT WOULD I DO??? Play with my iCane or something -____-""" "but that's soo......" Empty? "yeah" Apparently my life is meaningless if I don't bear children. My life is not centered around having kids, that's not what I envision for my future, and I don't believe that's my sole purpose in life. I know it's not as close minded as I'm making it out to be, but it's either you want to, or you don't. ...and I don't. So what I got was "yeah, but still......" It seems to me that people think: you can get an education, get a job, and achieve all your dreams, find your soul mate ...but you better have kids in the end, because that's just how it is Its your life... Tell that person to worry about theirs and you will continue to lead your own. End of story.

I don't want children but my mom and friends or like what how do you know? And in the future you will change your mind. I don't like kids and I don't think Id be a good parent. So I hate other women who are like their life revolves around getting married and having children. Women can do so much more now.... So believe what you want to and later in life only u can decided what makes you happy.

KaddeKyoto 4022 cr points Send Message: 20 / F / Chicago IL Online	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 2/11/13 I agree I dont want kids and actually found out i medically cant have them i was upset that i have no choice in the matter but not upset in the fact that "I'm not a real woman" which was actually said to me by my boyfriend at the time. needless to say we were not together long after that. Anyway my point you are a woman for being strong and independent not because you can have some kids aparently anybody can do that in todays age.

Tarya 33089 cr points Send Message: 34 / F / Virginia, US Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 2/11/13 I have always wanted kids, although I am nervous about what type of mother I would be. But unfortunately, I have been trying for 9 years and haven't gotten lucky yet, so I guess there are other plans for me. I still have a few years left before it would become more of a danger to keep trying...but the longer I go on, the more I think it won't happen. Which is sad. I think about all the "what-ifs" and am a little injured inside. Then I think of all the free time I have because I don't have children. All the free time I have spent with my husband just doing the things we want to do...not worried about money and time off...just going and doing because we can. That is pretty fun and I wouldn't trade the time I have gotten to spend with the love of my life either. So while I wasn't granted children, other gifts have been given instead, and I think I might have to settle for that.

Morbidhanson 9091 cr points Send Message: 23 / M / California Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 2/11/13 Most people can have kids, but kids cost a lot of money and won't necessarily make anyone happy. There's no point in investing in a child if you're not absolutely certain you want one. Not only will you suffer, but the child will as well. The weight of creating a life can become a burden for the unprepared. What you wish to do with your life is your choice. If you don't want kids, it obviously won't mean that you are a useless person or that your life was pointless. Saying that not having kids makes a woman's life pointless is like saying that not sleeping with many women makes a man's life pointless. A stupid thing to say.

It is rough to try and not succeed; it starts to feel like a curse or a plot against you. You may have PCOS. It is the primary cause of infertility in the U.S., and if you have it you could increase your chances of conceiving by taking metformin and certain regimens of birth control.
