What do you men think of women who don't ever want children? Would you be with a woman who didn't want to ever have kids? Why or why not?

My husband and I are both on Mylot, and I'm going to send this to him as soon as I'm done typing this response. i will say that he and i discussed all the big things in our lives before we got married. We discussed children or no children, we discussed living, finances, etc. all the big stuff, and made sure we were in agreement long before we got married. We decided on no children. I never wanted to have children, and he had plenty.

I would have searched for one like that! I've got 10 kids, which is way too many. There are too many people on the planet as it is. Statistically, to maintain a stable population, a couple needs 2.1 kids. Any more increases the number of people.

I totally agree with you. There are definitely too many people right now and we all need to slow down a bit.

I am a woman and I would like a childless marriage.right now,all I have to do is tell my future husband VERY EARLY that I don't want children.marriage is partnership between two people who love and respect each other.marriage doesn't solely mean to have pop out children.I believe I will be a good wife,but not a good mother.call me selfish,but spending the rest of my life without children is the best thing for me.

I don't think you're selfish at all. I think you're smart! People who have children just for the sole purpose of having them and just because they want to (whether or not they're suitable for parenthood and have the means) are the selfish ones.

Hi, My hubby is at a summer music festival, but I know if he were here, he'd want to say no kids please. We talked about this before we got married, and we were both in agreement, mostly because of the expense. But we also had something else in common, and that is that we both had many brothers and sisters that were pains in the rear, as children they were always fighting and screaming at the top of their lungs, and so now as adults we can live in peace and quiet. Our nerves are shot. For those who want children, that's great, it's a free country. Not everyone is meant to be parents, and personally, I don't think I'd have the patience and be as good a mother as my mother was.

Good for you both. It must be nice to find a companion who shares your views on something big like kids. There doesn't seem to be too many of those of us who don't want kids out there. :(

It's so refreshing to see other child-free people who talked it over with their spouses before they were married. I mentioned "NO KIDS" to my husband in the first week of knowing each other. He was the type of person who thought it was just something you did. He's extremely happy I brought it to his attention now...sometimes one of us will just say a reason why we're happy being child-free out of the blue. So, in my husband's case, he fell in love with a child-free woman before he knew I was child-free, but after hearing of it, fell in love with the lifestyle as well. ;)

You're telling the wrong person that there are many reasons why people don't want kids. If anybody knows that, it's me. I have MANY reasons why I don't want any and NO reason to have any. So, are you saying that you're a fence sitter? You can go either way on the whole kids thing?
