I try to be. Children would be exhausting to parent in the current era. Humanity’s future is gloom too.

    Yes. I’d rather be the “eccentric uncle QuentinCallaghan” to my siblings’ kids than a father to any kid in a world like this. I’m so used to having my own independence and freedom, and I’m a hedonist to some extent. Also having kids would require a relationship, and the Yellowstone volcano erupting is more likely than that.

    Never had any interest in having children, and the more I’ve learned about the state of the world the happier I am with my choices.

    God no. I can’t imagine a more horrific punishment than to be childless.

    I wish we had more than the two we have, but my wife and I started late. My daughter (12) sometimes asks how many children she could realistically have… a good sign that she hasn’t been tainted by whatever mental illness it is that the “childfree” people have.
