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

3. They Think That You Hate All Children

"You'll feel different when it's your own child." Okay, maybe, but that's still not a convincing argument for getting knocked up, is it? People who assume that you hate all children are just silly. It's absurd. Just because you don't want children of your own doesn't mean that you hate every other person on the planet - after all, everyone was a child once and you don't hate yourself. You still have time for children and they do bring you joy, you just don't want to be a parent. Making the decision to not be a parent doesn't transform you into an evil, unloving monster.
