10 Things That Will Happen If You Tell People That You Don't Want Kids

9. They Assume That You're Selfish

Most people assume that couples who don't have children are ridiculously selfish, choosing to have their life revolve around them, drinking strawberries and champagne on the beach and not giving a damn about bringing up the next generation. Just because you don't want to have children doesn't mean that you're going to be on a permanent holiday, nor does it define you as being a selfish person. You enjoy your current lifestyle and that's that. You don't want to have the responsibility, stress and the pressures that come with being a parent and if anything, it would be selfish of you to have a child as a result of giving into pressures set out by society.
