Should every woman have children, just because she can?

No you're not wierd for not wanting to have children. My aunt don't want to have children either,She like's being able to help her sister out with her children taking them on trips,financially,holidays...ect. Everyone wasn't meant to perform the same role here on earth, we all have our own gift for whatever role we're suppose to play.

There are lots of women a out there that don't want children for the reason that they can't and don't want the responsibilities. They want to live their lives nice and chill.

No I don't think you should just have a child for the sake of it because you can.. You or anybody eles shouldn't be treated differently because of that fact either.. Children are hard work and very time consuming some people are happy and content enough with their lives there is no need, each to their own...

I don't want any children either and I get the same reaction when I tell people. Everyone is different and having a child doesn't make you better then anyone else. I hate having to explain why I don't want kids. I know plenty of people w/o children and they are happy, if not happier, then some with kids. Don't let anyone make you feel bad or wrong for how you want to live your life.

Bottom line... why should ANYone who doesn't WANT to be a parent, be a parent? Think about the implications for those children... the subtext of unwantedness. I don't see anything wrong with being childless-by-choice. Ever heard of an organization called "No kidding?"

I don't have any biological children, nor have I legally adopted any. I have a friend who at the age of 40 started feeling pressure about being motherless. She does not come from a big family and the family she does have are all located in different States. I think mostly she was feeling lonely and afraid that when she's older, that she'll be alone. The thing is, she is like a mother to everyone I know, including me. She has huge amounts of love that she gives freely. We are each others child and parent and we will stick with each other til the end. I think life is more about the real connections you make and not about how many babies you can make.

a woman should not have to have kids if she doesnt want any its not like the world is going to stop if you dont have kids if you dont want any then dont i didnt want kids either and im still not sure if i do or not and i dont care what anybody thinks about that

It's not weird at all. Not everyone wants children or would be good having children. I wish more people thought about it before they had kids. Some of the bad parents may not have become parents if they thought it through. And that is not to say that just because someone doesn't want children that they would be a bad parent. Sometimes they just have other goals for their lives. And caring for children is a full time job.

Thanks to cultural and media brainwashing, there are people who truly believe that women's purpose is to have children. They believe a woman cannot truly be a 'real' woman without children, and that a woman without children is living an unfulfilled life. And this makes me sick. I am not a uterus with legs and a head. I am not my reproductive organs. I don't want children, I will never have children. And my life is plenty fulfilling.

NO, it's not weird. I know many women who don't want children. It's more common to be able to admit it nowadays. It scares me how many women probably had kids they didn't even want in the "olden days" because thats what was expected of them. However, people will still not believe you or think youre "weird" if you don't want kids. Just let their opinions roll off your back.

Some people are just not cut out to be a parent. I think it should be up to a woman whether she wants to have a child or doesn't. There are too many children neglected and abused by parents who didn't want them or weren't ready to be parent. Children need alot of love, time and energy. It also cost a lot to raise a child. So if you don't want a child, don't let people pressure you into having one. You are the one who is responsible, not them.

my god mother doesn't have children either. I don't think it's weird. Children are not for everyone. You do want you wish, you are probably a better person because you do.
