I'm 30.
Part of me had wanted to be a father and a parent. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that the world needs less people to have kids, not more. I look at it as a resource issue. I try to be hopeful about the future, but the evidence I've considered suggests otherwise.
I have lots of reasons for not having kids, as probably most childfree people do. I understand conceptually some of the rewards of watching children grow up to become their own people with their own ideas. I think I would have been an excellent parent. But I also have life goals that I think come first, and as a parent I believe that my own aspirations would have to come second.
I'm a teacher, and I expect to become a better teacher because I can be career oriented and build my knowledge better with the available time to read more. I would rather spend my evenings reading a book than monitoring and disciplining kids.
A good book on the childfree movement is No Kids: 40 Good Reasons Not to Have Children by Corinne Maier. It's a quick read. It's style is humorous but at times serious.
She's even written a book about it; looks like an interesting read.
I loved No kid: 40 good reasons not to have children. It was funny and light-hearted but truthful.
