Plus I think it's pretty selfish to have children for the sole purpose of being your nurse in old age.
Besides that line, you know which line I hate the most? "You're too young and you'll change your mind", because I'm 19.

Yeah that's another one of my favorites. I've known since I was like, 5 years old that I didn't want to be a mommy. 24 years later I still love being cf!

And do you think a man who wants a vasectomy at 21 is too young?

Not at all. It's actually easier for men to "get fixed" than women, since a lot of doctors think "we'll change our minds"

I hate doctors. They're too ageist for men and women! They're kinda steady on men between 18-25. They think some will regret it and may change their minds, and they may get sued. Not me. I'm strong-minded and I won't change my mind.

I know several ladies in my circle that don't have kids nor do they want to. I don't think its a regional thing-I just think it depends on the person. There are some people that think its weird people don't want kids but its about personal preference. I think you will find someone that has similiar interests, although it may take time. Some women feel like they were born to have kids, some don't.

What I can only hope is that there are girls my age who are 100% childfree.

Just curious what makes you so sure at 19 that you don't want kids. I only ask because I'm a lot older and I don't want kids either . What is it about kids makes you not want them?? I was in my teens too when I was pretty darn sure I didn't want children.

I don't want to feel old. I don't want kids, nor grandchildren. I stopped being a father when I took babysat my sisters kids when I was 15 and under. They were stressful. I had to change diapers, take to bed (they cry), I try to quiet them. I was also assigned to a summer job to take care of preschoolers and that was even more stressful. I decided enough is enough.

I'm never having children and I'm almost 20.
