Well, if humans existed to procreate, there wouldn't be much of a difference between humans and pigs. 

humans don't exist to procreate, but there isn't much difference between humans and pigs.

pigs also don't exist to procreate. they also have fun with life.

Catalpha should realize -

Only people who have kids understand their value.

once you have a kid, you won’t even ask such meaningless questions. Until then, you will be an INCOMPLETE man - a HALF KID and childish internally.

just ignore the crap man

[TrollBait]

if you are a guy, and pondering whether you should have kids or not.. don't waste your time. Its not your call. lol.

you are mostly peripheral to the decision of a woman (if she can make independent decisions) to have a kid. so give it a rest

[ganesh]

I feel they are the only source through which we could experience our childhood once again..atleast with better understanding as I didn’t know back then what I was doing...if one has an ability, opportunity and offcourse responsibility, i guess they should have kids to move forward mankind.. mana la aarojulo selfish ga aalochinchunte dB lo inni posts undevi kavu..

as for agency about having kids. some humans like to delude themselves that they are able to 'plan' their life.

having kids is one such 'plan' for them.  boring boring people.

having kids is a natural spontaneous act. even having 10 of them, if one wishes to.

ofcourse in current times, with heightened awareness of climate change, every kid you bring into the world is worth about one coal powerplant of carbon release into the atmosphere.. so may be people who bring in kids into the world should be taxed extra.

Contradicting yourself again. Your posting is about spending a MILLION DOLLARS on raising a child vs not have kids and save that money for yourself.

Confused?

Contradicting yourself again. YOU are the one who started this thread saying raising a kid costs a MILLION DOLLARS and you want to avoid that and save that money for yourself. Clearly, you don’t even know how much it really costs to raise a child.

since you have already determined not to have kids and save money, no one can change your mind. Why discuss it here? Looking for some kind of validation? Or just being argumentative - even after 6 pages of this silly and useless thread?

Do we educated grown ups really need advice on whether or not to have kids?????? Seriously dude? How about a thread on whether or not to get married?

Saving a million is just one of the advantages of not having kids. Now what's the advantage of having kids.

My point stands, is it worth it? What is a good reason to have them?

Advantage unda leda anedi question ayite there is no advantage.. kids marriages relationships Ivanni emotion tho kudukunnavi..advantage anedi aa process lo ee rupam lo vastundo teliyadu but for sure vastundi if you experience that.. if you look them as an item then I don’t see an advantage.. it’s more of a baggage..

Before trashing me with long messages, here is the deal. I find babies annoying, especially when they cry. I also don't see myself ever being comfortable with cleaning their poop or dealing with their shenanigans. I see people ranting about why this experience is good and blah blah blah, you might have always liked kids, I don't know. To be honest, I think raising a kid requires a lot of commitment and needs one to be responsible. I don't see myself as being committed to take care of someone that's not me. I just don't see a point of raising kids, so I want to know what makes it worth having kids. 

[TrollBait]

@Catalpha your question is irrelevant.

people don't know why they have kids. They just do. Its an irrational choice they make.

just like people decide to support their country inspite of knowing tht their country conducts genocides against other people. inspite of their country. pick your irrational behaviour. or two or many. in the end, inspite of unique human intelligence, humans are still irrational.

the answer to your question is another question.

Why does life exist? life exists because it is in an equilibrium with the geochemical and atmospherical conditions that feed off each other with the biological.

come back when you can rationalize not having kids if you can prove that you not having kids will be a net positive for life on earth.

any other reason you give for not having kids is just a boring one. yeah, you want to become a millionaire, not be annoyed, blah blah..

who cares. no one is that important.

having kids is an irrational choice.

deciding to not have kids is an equally irrational choice.

you pick your choice and go with it.  there can really be no justification for either choice

[Catalpha]

From what I can tell, all the people who are arguing probably like kids, or knew they were responsible enough to raise kids. What about folks that don't? What if you need to concentrate on your life after you have kids, but you can't because you have to be responsible towards them? What if you just end up being bad parents? Is it still worthwhile to have kids?

haha.. people are just winging it man. nobody knows what it is to raise kids. They just try to do their best. They  are not 'responsible'. ffs, look at how misogynist, borderline genocidal people who post here are. and half of them are parents. lol.

you are free to not have kids. is that a big deal? 

are you being shamed for not having kids?

is it hard to ask those who shame you to fcuk off?
