I don’t understand why people have kids.

I’m 29f and I’ve been on this dumb app for a minute now. I’m childfree. I will never want kids. I do not want to be a mom. I don’t enjoy kids. It’s that simple. <br><br>I’m a teacher. I teach 11th and 12th grade English. I like my students, but I also want to strangle them most of the time. I cannot imagine how much I would hate my own kids. How much I would resent them and want to drown them. My sister in law and brother have a two year old that is seriously the most obnoxious, loud, and annoying child I have ever met. I would hate to be my brother. I truly feel sorry for him having to deal with that for the rest of his life. <br><br>My bf and I are both childfree, which is why we are together. It’s a deal breaker. We are both in agreement that we will get a vasectomy and tubal ligation as soon as possible. We want to travel everywhere, we want to spend our money on us. I want to go to law school. We want to be able to go out to eat and go to the movies without having to worry about some brat at home. <br><br>This goes for the people who “accidentally” have kids. DOG GONNIT, USE BIRTH CONTROL. I have been on birth control for TEN YEARS. I have never had a pregnancy scare. If you do not want to have a kid, use a condom, get on birth control, do something. I have been a teacher for 8 years. I watch parents struggle to make ends meet. I watch parents struggle to take care of their kids. I watch fathers beat their children. I watch mothers neglect their children. <br><br>If you cannot afford to have a child, DO NOT HAVE A CHILD. Get a dog. Volunteer at a school. Get a stuffed animal and pretend it’s a baby. Do something else with your time. I was told by a former principal that he wanted kids so that he could have someone to take care of him in his old age. You should not burden a child with that responsibility. <br><br>I do not understand how anyone can think that having kids is a good idea.
