I chose to have 3 children. But I think those that don't want them, shouldn't have them and that's their right to choose their own family dynamics.

My wife and I decided before we were married we didn't want children and we haven't changed after being married for years. Unfortunately some children are brought into this world for the wrong reason and it's the children who pay the price.
Some where born by accident the lack of any birth control and then worse by people who didn't understand that a child is a life time commitment. The couples also find out children are expensive and then both parents have to work then there relying on other people to raise there children that is one major reason there is so much juvenile crime in this country.
My wife and I like our freedom and financial savings. We love children so we go by friends house and visit but then we leave that's the freedom we enjoy. Also we look at friends with kids have you ever noticed they never seem to have money and they never seem to be able to go anywhere the we can't find a babysitter factor.......Freedom is great.

The answer to this is personal preference! Some people choose to have families with his/her spouse and some want it to be just be them. There is not a right or wrong answer and there are ups and downs to each.

I love children and I want to see another me or my spouse running around the house. I want to raise my own child and not raise other people's children. Also little boys can carry your last name on.

If you are childless you are going to be able to do more traveling and may have finer things due to no other obligations that come with children.

Either way it is your choice. You can always change your mind later if you do not want children now.

We have chosen to be childless because we are both selfish. Children take a lot of sacrifice of oneself. People will point out the obvious: the cost of raising a child, saving for college, drugs, etc but everyone seems to forget that children need to be raised - you can't expect school to teach a child anything!

We have four legged children and they are not easy either but they don't have to go off to college and they don't require as much time as two legged children.

Yes, I'm choosing to be child free. I'll list the reasons in no particular order:

Pregnancy and childbirth is traumatizing and in my opinion not worth going through.
Life is not a precious gift, but a cruel mechanism. If I love my children, they'll never be born.
The world is on the verge of over population.
There are enough unwanted children on the planet that if I were to insist on having my own children it would be irresponsible and selfish.
Children especially babies make me uncomfortable. I do not think babies are cute or adorable.
A mix of my fiance genes and my genes would be terrible.
I have aspirations and goals in life that I believe to be more useful for society than bearing children. I haven't given up yet and have no need to live vicariously through children.

I'm sure there are a few more reasons, but these are some of the main reasons I've had since I was young and hadn't even met my fiance yet. Luckily he feels the same way and we're opting for a permanent form of birth control.

no interruption in lifestyle
and it is not a selfish thing as some others might assert
some couples work long and hard for what they got
and children do not fit in well with such environments
those couples, BTW , often love children
they just do not want the cost and mess associated with them
they want to freedom to travel uninhibited or on the kid's time tables
they like a clean and neat house
they have more spending / saving power
they can afford more things
that's why most choose not to have children

Depends on if they want kids or not. If you don't want kids then you should choose to be childless. My husband and I often get pressure to have another child because we just have one. Whether or not we have more kids is nobodies business and no one should be pressured to have children.

Save a lot of money, have more freedom. If people don't want children in the first place, do you really think they'd make good parents? If that is their chosen lifestyle, who am I to judge?

If I didn't want children I wouldn't have children whether I was married or not. It is the right of the married couple to decide how they are going to spend their married years.
