Your going to want kids eventually
You come from a very long line of people who wanted kids. You have there genes.
Put two and two together
Your going to want kids eventually

I also came from a very long line of schizophrenics, guess what I’m not? Schizophrenic.
My younger sister comes from a long line of brunettes, guess what she is? Blonde.
I come from a long line of people that wanted kids because that long line of people came from different times and eras. During those different times and eras if there was a social stigma around not having a family, as that was what society expected.
In those different times and eras women didn’t have much other choices or paths to follow in life besides being mothers and wives, the same can’t be said for women now, who have many different choices.
This is why many developed countries like Germany and Australia have declining and ageing populations. People are putting their careers first, children are an economic burden, there is more access to contraceptives, etc, etc, etc.
Some people will change and want kids, these days, however, less people are.
And there’s nothing wrong with not wanting kids. The gene pool isn’t exactly going to dry up if a handful of people don’t pass theirs on.
Bro I ain’t gonna be able to afford to have kids and I don’t want to bring them into a world that’s crumbling at the seams. If the human race can get its shit together before my biological clock runs out, MAYBE we’ll talk.
By every conceivable measurement the human race is doing better than ever
And no one said “have kids” just said whatever you say now your gonna want them later because it’s in your DNA to want them
And the reason the decline of children is detrimental actually since there will be more people retired and taking out of the system then there will be people puting in.
It actually all comes down to birth control though
Those pills put women in a perpetual state if fake pregnancy meaning y'all arnt going to want kids till you stop taking it and it’s too late
Btw the blonde and mental illness thing is a dumb comparison because not everyone is blonde but many people have the blonde gene but litteraly from the first sentient ancestors they wanted kids any of the ones who didn’t YOU DONT HAVE THERE GENES
A thirty year old told you they still didn’t want kids, what age does someone have to be untol you realise not everyone is going to end up wanting kids? Do I need to be on my deathbed and say “I still don’t want kids” till you get it?
It does not matter if everyone else before me had kids, wanting kids is not “in your genes”. It is not in my dna to want them.
I did say an ageing population. All you did was further explain that in detail. That doesn’t take away that Germany and Australia have declining birthrates and a declining population. They are in stage five of the population model, a stage thats brand new and was made because of how those countries are currently doing.
It does not just come down to birth control. It comes down to the fact that people, especially women, have more women. It also comes down to the fact that children are an ecnomic burden in developed countries. It also comes down to people waiting later in life to have children, when they’re less fertile. Birth control is one of the many reasons.
You sound like Alex Jones. It doesn’t put women in a perpetual state of fake pregnancy. They stop you getting pregnant by preventing your ovulation. They dont suppress some mystical want to procreate.
Right so lets say the first people ever had blonde hair, and they are my very distant ancestors, that means I have their genes. That means being blonde is in my genes and has been in the genes of everyone before me. Yet I’m a brunette. Its almost like a trend in your ancestors doesn’t inherently mean you will follow it.
Okay, to be fair, wanting to propagate your genes is absolutely in said genes. It’s part of your biological clock. Every organism theoretically and most in practice have an innate need to pass on their genes.
But just because it’s there doesn’t mean you have to do it. Humans are also wired to be anxious, flighty, vicious, aggressive, cowardly, selfish. To respond to our base instincts. We have the amazing fight or flight mechanism that tells us to attack or run when we think we’re in danger, and that can come in many forms (hence panic and procrastination, for example).
And yet we’ve also overcome our basic impulses to live a more comfortable, domesticated, functional life. Sure. I’ll give them that - our bodies want to propagate our genes. They also want to fight cars for giving you a fright, eat all the food in your house in case food suddenly becomes scarce, and run and hide from your responsibilities. That doesn’t mean we have to do those things. Many people choose not to have children. People do die without ever having passed on their genes or ever consciously having wanted to. It’s patronising and reductive to tell them that ‘ok but your genes say so’.
Yes.
I said more than three times you don’t have to have children
The reason I made this entire Post in the first place was because I find it annoying that people will literally deny science rather than admitting they might be wrong right now, in this point in their life. but yet I see at least five posts a day about how people will “never want to have kids” or that “having kids is a bad decision” and no one ever questions it but yet I suggest that you will want to have kids
not that you should
not that you have to
not that it is important to do so
just that you will have the primal urge to want them and people were mad
So thank you
thank you for being the first person on this post to not be so far up your own ass that you’re willing to deny all of science because of what you feel
Congrats
Nice condescension.
An alternative to making this post was keeping your mouth shut, honestly. Like, you really didn’t have to make this post. For someone who seems to think they’re really clever for knowing basic genetic principles, I cannot imagine that you didn’t know the shitstorm your post would cause.
‘Having kids is a bad idea’ and ‘I never want to have kids’ are not anti-scientific statements. Having feelings is not anti-science. But if you want my honest opinion on your post? Telling people ‘hurr durr but your GeNeS’ because you can’t handle people talking about their feelings/not wanting kids is a dick move. Did you think it was going to make people change their posts to “Genes always want to make it to the next generation but lmao nah”?
you could have said nothing either. all these people could have said nothing, they would have instantly proved my theory wrong if they never rebloged
But let’s be real here you’re blog my blog this entire site is just a terrible boxing ring everyone’s trying to fight or no one would be posting.
And I wasn’t condescending you I was throwing shade on everybody else in this post but the fact still remains
why does it make you so angry?
the thing is if a scientific fact makes you that angry I think you need to reevaluate your opinions
If you don’t want to hear the truth even casually (cause this post wasn’t pointed at anyone it didn’t @ anyone) but no one could just allow this post to exist so yeah I kind of think I did strike gold with this one
So tell me why is pointing something out that you and me both know bad? Unless there’s some type of I don’t know evangelical cult behaviour or something
what do you mean with: you and me know the truth?
the truth is: not everyone wants kids. my genes dont want them. and again, im 30 and never in this 30 years did i think: i want kids. not even once.
so do you think i lie to myself or that im a miracle or is your theory maybe wrong?
Honestly I’m just avoiding talking to you because you seem nice I was actually talking to the last person because they finally admitted to scientific fact but honestly yes I think you’re lying to yourself a hundred percent believe you’re lying to yourself
People who truly believe and what they’re saying don’t get angry about facts
I’ll concede once in awhile they’ll be people who don’t want kids like once in a while there’s a woman who drowns her children things that don’t win the genetic Lottery happen the one thing I do doubt is that they would be angry about it
There are people out here that hate dogs there are plenty of post that go around saying dogs are man’s best friend but a person who really just doesn’t like dogs I’ve never seen one hop on a post defending their right to dislike dogs
The only post other than this one that had this big of a reaction that I’ve made is one that said there are only two genders that kind of says something to me, that when you tell people who are lying to themselves the truth they have a meltdown
i get what you mean. but do you know how often i have to hear, one day you want kids, i hear that since im a teenager. its annoying. thats why i answerd this post. im not mad at all. i was just trying to tell you, that not everyone likes and wants kids.
I hear that a lot
when I was a teenager I said I didn’t want to have kids that I would rather have an abortion before I would have kids (I was also incredibly feminist) and everyone told me that I would want to have kids then I got older and now I really really want to have kids and every single person I meet tells me not to have them, even people who previously told me that I would want them like my grandma and my mom now tell me not to have them.
Whatever you want in life people will tell you to do the opposite that’s the truth of it
And I’ll concede like I have several times no one likes kids but everyone will want them.
And I’m not your grandma or your mom I’m not telling you you’ll want them when you find the “right man” or you’ll want them when you hit a certain age I’m saying you’re going to want them when your chemicals change when the Twilight years are in view and you start regretting a lot of things in life that kids will be one of them
And I’m just saying when that time comes
adopt a teenager nobody wants them and they need a place to go
