I've made myself sick just thinking about it.

I'd much rather have a vasectomy and play the field my whole life. When I turn 18, (only 7 months from now) I will be legally entitled to that.

What do you think?
It takes two to tango. Keep your junk in your pants if you really want to avoid making kiddos.

"No offense," but why start this thread?

If you've come to a decision, cool...but why, then, the debate? Do you think anybody really cares if you have kids or not?

I am really getting tired of hearing excuses, "there's too many kids out there" or "the human race ain't dying yet" or "it's overpopulated". Dude, you want to make the choice of not having kids? That's fine. Why do people want to have kids? Because they want to. Why don't you want to have kids? Same reasons. You admit to yourself (and to us) that you're selfish.

And some people like West of Encino have decided even before 19 to not have kids. And he's 23 now and still doesn't want kids.
You know, I have to be perfectly blunt here.....west of encino is a misogynist, and you, CMP, you're really not even old enough to know what you truly want.
Most of your threads just make me roll my eyes and say, oy vey!
What you think want at your tender age is NOT what you are going to want a decade from now.
I didnt think I wanted a child at your age.....guess what, I changed my mind......
Been there, done that.

I hope this forum is still around when I'm 40 so I can confirm that I did not change my mind.

There are people that stick with their decision to never have kids.

Is there any forum on CD which might address this very issue?

But why assume I'm going to change my mind?

Who are you to say I won't stick with my plan?
