My wife and I just recently got married. We're young and have no previous children. When friends and family bring up the topic and ask when we plan to have children, we both answer that we don't plan to have kids. This is always followed by "what??", "no kids!!" or "why not??". I'm well aware that different people have different sittuations and that having children is an obvious choice for some but we've had long discussions and thought long and hard about this decision and feel that it would be best for us not to have children. In order to get a third party perspective, I usually ask "why do you feel it is so important to have kids?" but the best I've gotten are politician answers.....you know, a lot of fluff but no real answer. In regards to this topic, we're obviously in the minority and I'm completely open to new ideas once provided with new information, I just would like to know the logic before I make decisions.
