Simply question. Men don't have the choice anymore. Or should I say men and women have no choice anymore.
Most "educated" women are smashing patriarchy by staying single well into late ages. Men (father of the bride & would be husband) pamper this idiocy. Most of them hit the wall by the time they are married. Like it or not, they are getting any kids. Most likely will spend their retirement talking about the awesome Ppt they made and amazing cost reduction ideas they did for the company.

I like how you didn’t consider parenting and emotions associated or even costs when talking about facilities to kids.

Wish good luck to your kids

Men (father and husband) supporting women's education is not idiocy. Everyone has a choice to achieve their dreams and marry whenever they want. You sound so self righteous and bitter about the choices that other women are making for themselves.

Also a lot of people don't really want kids, so you shouldn't generalize it as some sort of problem.

Irrespective of being a man or woman, people don't want to have kids. It's not about avoiding commitment and/or responsibilities, but many other factors involved.

  1. One of them is education, which has skyrocketed in terms of money. It isn't the same anymore as we did it. So unless our pay is exceptionally good, it's hard to finance the education. And why should a child suffer because of this.
  2. Nowadays, both men and women are working in most of the households .Taking care of the child becomes tough when you are not living with the family. Even though you can keep a nanny to take care of, it isn't always a very good idea to hand over the child to someone else in their absence. (Many risks involved).
  3. Most of the responsibilities come upon the mother - by default, so a working mother becomes way too stressed at the end of the day as compared to the father.

I am not saying we cannot handle these things, somewhere our parents also did everything for us. But now, people are emphasizing more on personal growth/self care rather than grinding themselves the entire day just to continue a life form.

The 3rd point.

Very few men acknowledge that, and I have massive respect for those who do

Totally agree on 2&3. 1 I feel that ai will make it cheap and accessible to anyone.

On 2 & 3, I feel that while we adopted ourselves to the western world thinking, we are not changing enough in our homes.

For ex: my wife hates meal planning concept or storing in fridge and reheating. While I think that this will free her and sets me up to take up the kitchen systems. Apps like zepto just make everyone lazy off late

  1. Got diagnosed with ADHD this year and it started masking sense to me why I am such a disaster. I don't want to procreate another disaster.

  2. In addition to ADHD, I am blessed with a few more genetic conditions. Another reason I don't want the child to suffer for no fault of their own.

  3. By seeing where I am in my career and by seeing the way the costs are increasing, I don't think I can afford a child. It's just not money, it's also about time.

  4. Have a lot of trauma in childhood due to fights between my parents, my father being absent when I was a child. I don't want to be an unavailable father to my child.

  5. I myself am a man-child and I find it challenging to take care of myself. Having a child and taking care of it is a sure shot way for me, my partner and my child towards a disaster.

  6. I don't want responsibilities in my life. I don't mind dying alone with a lot of money. I would in fact immigrate to a country where euthanasia is legal and use that money to seek freedom from all the pain this world has to offer, I would seek freedom from the curse of life. I don't ant to orphan my child by my own selfishness. It's better to not father one in the first place.

  7. I am not interested to see my bloodline continue as I feel it's absolutely unnecessary to do so.

This was very helpful. Few more questions, can I DM?

Wow, never saw someone hate themselves and their family so much to talk about ending the blood line.

My perspective, agree or disagree.

  1. Coz of uncertainties. Like financially, only if confident and sure of the financials, one should think of having children.
  2. Children come with a lot of responsibilities. I don’t think I can take care of them.
  3. Since my childhood, there is no great bonding with relatives/cousins. It’s something I feel any child shouldn’t be having, and greatly added to my choice.

I don't want to get married. Does that count towards not having children of my own?

Nope

They are mutually exclusive. You can still want to be parent without having a life long companion.

Like Sushmita for example, or Tushar Kapoor They have adopted kids but not married.

Maybe you should figure out if they two different or simultaneous events
