Author	Thread: Men's thoughts on women who don't want kids? (Women's answers welcome too!)
Admin	Men's thoughts on women who don't want kids? (Women's answers welcome too!) Posted : 16 Apr, 2011 08:31 PM Men, would you break up with your girlfriend because she didn't want kids? Women, have you ever had a relationship go sour over the issue of children (not including 2nd marriage issues with 1st marriage children)? Was it you or the man who didn't want kids? Any other thoughts about this? Some women out there simply have a deep passion for their careers or simply aren't ga-ga about children. There's certainly men like that, but for some reason it's socially unacceptable for a woman to be that way, especially in Christian circles. As though there can't be diversity among female personalities... we were not all made to have the same interests. And please, can we try to keep this a general discussion (as opposed to discussing me - how young I am, how I will eventually want kids, etc etc thank you, but I have heard it all already, I want to know how people feel about this topic more on a general note).

View Profile History	Men's thoughts on women who don't want kids? (Women's answers welcome too!) Posted : 25 Apr, 2011 10:49 AM I do not want children. I have dated guys and that is one of the first things I say when I meet them. None of my previous relationships ended for that reason I am sick of being told that when I grow up I might change my mind. In 22 years I haven't changed my mind on the subject. If I end up with someone that somehow decides he wants children after we meet and have the conversation about it (see above) that would be a problem for me. Post Reply

I read on Psychology Today's website that people without children reach out more to their each other, their neighbors, and the world in general. Some people tell me it's selfish that I don't want kids because I want my own life. But I don't think it's selfish to want to be able to have time for the marriage, for friends, and for helping people, all of which mothers have little to no time for. Post Reply

And I agree about everyone telling us that we'll just "grow up" and change our minds. I don't think that's true because lots of people base that on the premise that "lots of kids don't want kids until they get to a certain age" and that's not what I see. Most of my friends have been so different from me about this, ever since playing with dolls and other girls being Mommy to their dolls; I had no desire even for that. So I think it's personality, not my age. Post Reply

Posted : 25 Apr, 2011 09:26 PM But we have similar personalities and I have a great desire for children! I think it's probably a persons tendency to look at the effects of what a child has, and weigh it more to what they want. Basically, someone who wants children values more that they get to have their own child to experience love and care for, while someone who doesn't want them values more their freedom and ability to choose who to hang out with and what to do on their own schedule. Am I wrong? Post Reply

Posted : 11 May, 2011 11:12 PM I am already a singlemom to an 8 year old boy and I still would want to have another child, and hopefully this time I'd be married. I am an only child It was lonely on my part and I hope my son won't experience that. I am more of a homebody than a career oriented person, so having kids to take care of is very much ok with me. I totally understand those who doesn't want to have kids. Each of us have different priorities in life. Post Reply

Posted : 26 May, 2011 07:57 PM I would LOVE :hearts: a girlfriend who didn't want kids!!!!!!! Fpr some reason it is sooooooo hard to find a young lady in her 20s who has a good view on life who does NOT want chidlren.

It is true that it is hard to find a christian young lady for a child-free relationship. I know of ONE single's site for those of us who do NOT want children and sadly most of them are not christians. Praying that God will send me sucha young lady. :prayingm: ( I'm not Catholic. This is just the only pic of someone praying.) Post Reply

Posted : 30 May, 2011 06:51 AM I don't think i would want to be in a relationship with a guy who doesn't want to have kids. I don't have anything against it because it's their personal choice, but i can't see myself with that type of guy. I would want quiver full of kids, nah, at least one will do, and i would not put career over family. I think this life is too short to focus on something material. Post Reply

Posted : 9 Jun, 2011 07:19 AM having kids is very important to me and God willing one day I will! I doubt that I would go out with a lady that didn't want to have kids because it would be something that I would explore before making that commitment. Even I was going out with a lady, it would be very difficult for the relationship to be viable because we would be unequally yoked because of it. Post Reply

Posted : 27 Jun, 2011 10:31 AM for me, its u to God. i checked dont want kids, but its complicated. its not really a selfish thing. ive had so much stess the last 20yrs that i cant handle that. there is a difference between Gods direct and permissive will. i lot of unjust suffering came against me that i beieve wasnt Gods will, but noe i have to adapt.

Posted : 30 Nov, 2011 02:58 PM Considering I do not desire kids, no, I would be lucky to find a great girl who doesn't want children. There is nothing wrong with it not wanting to be a parent.
