Kids, hm question would be why? I don't get it. I mean, where I live people ask me "when you're getting married? don't you want kids?" And if I asked them why are those such mandatory actions, they say that it's "how it's supposed to be".
Well, I don't agree.At least not now. First of all, I would have to own my own house/apartment, that means getting a bank loan for 30 (!) year from now, which means i'll be paying until I retire for it, that's assuming I have a job which can support that (which, atm I do have).
Then, I'd have to find some woman that I would actually consider marrying, and she marrying me, which has not happened yet, not even close. If all those things happen, maybe. But most people here make kids "to have someone to give them a cup of water when they're old", literal translation.
I find that is a very weird motivation to have children. It's like you're making slaves tbh, that's what it sounds to me.
Then there's the educating them and taking care of them part. I can barely take care of myself, I smoke heavily, occasionally consume alcohol and I'm not sure I'd be a proper parent. Screaming, crying, diaper changing and so on, constantly looking out for them.
Edit: just for reference, I'm 30 years old.
TLDR: I would rather not have kids than having kids and screwing up their life, assuming I have a wife that I get along with and sufficient material resources (house, cash, etc).
