I been thinking this way since I was 15. I'm 100% sure that I will be childfree permanantly. If I had a sterilization, I'll have no regrets.
Well, I will take your side in this. If you don't want children, then you don't. That doesn't make you a bad person. It just means you know what you do, and don't want. I have one son, who is grown now. But, that one was all I wanted, and he is the only one I have. Remember, it's YOU who has to live your life, not someone else. You can find like-minded females out there. Thats my thoughts on this.

You know people always said abuse to me, on Yahoo! Answers, that I'll change my mind. Like they don't even know me, or my life.
Maybe nobody wants to have your baby. Have you considered that?
The female of the species is often very selective on who she has sex with. She needs to determine who has the best genes. While it's easy for most women to find a sex partner, some men never have sex because their gene pool is just so horrible that nobody wants to have their baby.
If your prospects for having sex are very low, maybe you don't need sterilization.
It never occurred to me to think about whether or not I wanted kids or to talk about this with my partner. It wasn't until three years after we were married that the topic of kids ever came up. It was then that I realized that we had very different views on this matter--he wants kids whereas I do not. I always assumed I wanted kids, without ever really thinking about it, and we never discussed this at all when we were dating or married until about a year ago. Now it's a problem and it's causing me a lot of stress. I feel like I have to give in and give him the kids he wants--though I told him there is no way I am getting pregnant, so we'll have to adopt.

Before I was 15, I wanted kids, but after having a job of dealing with some crazy toddlers (I only picked the for a summer program in which I thought was easy), I was like no, never have kids. I been like this for 4 years.

You know what I think is weird? When someone says they WANT kids, no one says to them, "It's permanent, you know," or "what if you change your mind?" But if you say you DON'T want them, you get those remarks frequently.

If you really don't want to raise children- I wouldn't even adopt them.
Don't you think if you are married- raising children should be a mutual decision that both people agree on?
There's nothing wrong with not wanting children- I don't want them either.
