A home constantly full of chatter, a car with a child seat or two, coloring books and legos next to your magazines and knick-knacks, and a little human—or a couple—calling your name after having just awoken from a nap. For some people, hoping to one day become parents, such a scenario sounds like something they would love to have in life. Now read the same sentence from a perspective of someone who wouldn’t.
For many, people’s desire to have children is baffling, at best. They don’t see the charm in the perpetually increased levels of noise (except for the brief periods when the little hellraiser(s) is sleeping), toys scattered haphazardly around, and someone being at your side nearly constantly.
But these are only some of the more lightweight reasons not to have children. Members of the ‘Ask Reddit’ community opened up about what stops them from having kids, covering such things as financial burdens and the huge mental load, among other things, which shows that one has to be 110% sure before bringing anyone into this world. Scroll down to find their reasoning on the list below and see why some people don’t see themselves becoming parents.
