It's good people who really can't work and also might have children get their rent, insurance and more paid. These two however... they game the whole day and leave the TV to parent their 2 and 3 year old. They definitely don't have a mental illness that prevents hem from working (I know this by being their friend and a former psychiatrist)

32 Things People On The Internet Consider To Be A Disadvantage Of Being Child-Free The con is all the fun stuff, incredible, and amazing things you get to live as a parent. I am a mom and in literal awe of this little person and who he is, how he sees the world and what’s he’s making me see in the world every single day. I get to reexperience the world thanks to my child. I now constantly look for teeny tiny insects on the ground and get honest to God excited when I see any, or when I see certain cars, or birds. Not because that’s something that came natural to me, but because it’s something my child has made me see and appreciate. The amount of absolute belly laughs this little person has given me in his short life is completely unmatched by anyone else on this earth. It‘s autumn now and I hate the cold, but I am also absolutely giddy that it‘s starting because now I can press leaves and collect nuts with my kid. Would I give two hoots about that without him? No. But with him it’s honestly one of the more exciting things I‘m looking forward to in the next month. And let’s not even discuss Christmas. My kid makes the season magical for me.

There’s so much hard s**t about being a parent and I would never want to convince anyone to have kids if you’re not up for it. Because the hard s**t is relentless even when you are 100% onboard with being a parent. But my god is it awesome too, in the most literal sense of the word.

32 Things People On The Internet Consider To Be A Disadvantage Of Being Child-Free My work makes me not only work more hours, but they also ‘make’ me work the hours no one else can work because they have kids.

Like later shifts and overnights. Also during Covid, people with kids could 100% telework and most still do partially. Since I don’t have kids I had and still have to come into the office every single day, no exceptions. When others with kids ask for vacations days, they always get priority, even if I asked and got it approved first.

I’ve told my work NO more then once and they are shocked when I remind them that just because I don’t have kids doesn’t mean I don’t have a life outside work.

32 Things People On The Internet Consider To Be A Disadvantage Of Being Child-Free According to Reddit there are none. Having kids is a drain on your finances, your personal wellbeing, and ruins the planet.

I had one because I thought we could provide a loving, stable home to raise someone who could be a productive member of the next generation of people. It’s also fun to pass down traditions such as dressing up and trick or treating for Halloween, drinking out of the hose in summer, that the proper way to eat ice cream is with sprinkles. I knew I would miss out on that if I didn’t, it’s sort of intangible and lots of people on here would say it’s not worth it. I don’t expect them to take care of me when I’m old, but I’d be honoured to still be a part of their life when they are an adult.

32 Things People On The Internet Consider To Be A Disadvantage Of Being Child-Free My dad's side of the family is enormous. Each independent family unit has 2-4 kids, so I grew up with great grandparent, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and lots of cousins. My mom's side of the family is much smaller. Only one aunt and two cousins. My dad's side was always much more enjoyable on occasions and holidays. Also much more supportive when it came time for family support.

But the real kicker was watching my grandparents grow old. My dad's parents were constantly surrounded by family with a lot of care and support as they grew old, not to mention, many more people to share the expense. My mom's parents had almost nobody. As their friends started to pass away, there were even fewer. My mom and her sister both had busy lives and couldn't spend a ton of time with them. Health, especially mental, deteriorated much more rapidly than the other side.

Anyhoo. That's one of the major reasons that we had kids. People are joy, so we wanted some people of our own to continue the legacy of joy and support.

32 Things People On The Internet Consider To Be A Disadvantage Of Being Child-Free I'm going to put the lonely stuff aside about getting old.

The cons, is you never get to experience life through your child's eyes.

You don't get to see their love and excitement that happens when they see you coming home from work.

You don't get the joy and fulfillment of teaching them, spending time with them and watching them grow.

..

I get these are just short answers, but it's hard to really describe the fulfillment when your daughter runs up to you shouting "Daddy,daddy,daddy" and then just wants to hang out.

In addition to that, they are f*****g hilarious.

32 Things People On The Internet Consider To Be A Disadvantage Of Being Child-Free I am the estate executor for my uncle (aunt died 7 years ago and they had no kids), who died in January. Today I went down and signed the papers preliminary to close on his house, which we just sold a few weeks ago. Closing will be next week. After I signed the papers, I went over to the house which, over the last eight months my family and I have been slowly been emptying and working towards selling. I sat in that empty house and stared out at his property and got really really sad because, well, this is it.

In 4 to 5 days, it will be like him, and my aunt will have their entire life erased from this earth. There’s nothing that they’ve passed on, or rather, I should say down to their children, other than mementos and things like that which we’ve all taken in the probate process. Also, of course we all have our wonderful memories with them and love them so much but the entire life that they’ve built together in that house over the last 30 years is about to be completely erased and I know that our buyers will make it into a wonderful home for themselves, but it just feels so odd like if we didn’t remember them it would be like their entire lives will be washed away.

And I know having children wouldn’t necessarily always solve that problem but since none of us live near his property, and none of us can afford the property, no one can buy it and so it’s left to be sold and it just feels like if they had had children maybe they would’ve had someone directly to leave their house too, leave their life to, and our family in that spot could continue.

So I guess long story short I kind of see that as a con to not having kids. My mother and father, myself, and brother will all remember my aunt and uncle and so will my first cousins but after we’re gone it feels like no one will remember them anymore….like they were never here.

Idk just makes me sad

All the reasons I can think of still don’t outweigh the fact I would feel guilty and inadequate as a parent. Never been maternal. Never wanted kids. Never really felt close to my parents either. Having them to reduce loneliness seems a common theme, especially as we age. Kids and family don’t guarantee company! We choose the people we surround ourselves with and after a certain point you may not like them, may not even love them and vice versa.

The process and requirements for adoption are a lot harder than just having a child. A lot of people wouldn't qualify to adopt because of minor things despite being and excellent candidate otherwise. Like someone else said, being in a relationship that isn't heterosexual does make it more difficult or even impossible to adopt. Plus the idea of adopting when no married is almost laughable to adoption agencies. It's a lot harder to prove you're capable of providing for a child when you're the only provider.

Many of these sound like people without children have no spouse, partner, friends and family, like it's understood that you're alone if you don't have kids. That's simply not true.
