I am of the age to have kids, some of my friends have them, but I have mixed feelings about it, just wondering about other people’s experiences.

    Early 30s and no, I won’t have kids for many reasons, those are my top 5:

    • I barely hold it together on a day to day basis, I can’t imagine having to put my needs aside and care for someone else 24/7 for decades.
    • The current state of the world is frightening, I would feel horrible putting someone in whatever will happen in the years to come.
    • I have a high chance of transmitting my ADHD/ASD (my family is pretty much all ADHD/ASD) and I don’t want to willingly put someone through that, even with a good support system.
    • More money, more time
    • I have nieces and nephews, so I can be the cool uncle whenever I want.
