10 Valid Reasons To Not Have Kids

When a couple says that they do not intend to have kids, we look at them in a weird, scanning way. Do they mean that they are not ready for kids right now? Or is it that they do not want to have kids at all? How can someone not want kids? However, it is completely natural and even smart to avoid being parents. There are some very valid reasons to not have kids.

REASONS WHY DO WOMEN WANT KIDS?

And these are reasons to not have babies ever. It is not just an exercise in making yourself ready to become parents. Most women are scared to state these reasons for not getting pregnant. Men are a little more comfortable with the reasons to not have kids. They are okay with coming out in the open and saying that being 'childless' by choice is not such a bad thing.

It is not that a marriage without a child cannot survive. There are many couples who are very happy without having kids. That is why; you need to analyse the reasons to not have kids before you take the plunge into parenthood.

Save Money

Do you know how expensive it is to have kids? From the time you conceive, to your hospital charges, to vaccinations and then their educations; having kids costs a bomb.

Time For Yourself

Forget about the time to read books or watch movies, most parents do not even have the time to shave or do their eyebrows. Do you really want to deprive yourself that much?

Freedom To Chase Your Dreams

You are compelled to have job stability and a steady income. You cannot go after your dream job once you become parents. You also cannot take travelling assignments and very demanding jobs because you have to give time to your baby.

You Can Sleep As Much As You Want

Most parents complain that they have never slept peacefully after having kids. If you want to sleep to your heart's content and avoid getting up at 5 am to send your kids to school, don't make babies.

Having A Social Life

Even if you can find a good babysitter for your kids, you are often too tired to get dressed up for a party. New parents often stop going to parties and meeting friends all together.

Travel Without Hassles

Travelling with 4 baby bags and tons of baby food is not the best idea for a relaxing vacation. If you are a roving soul who lives to travel, then you should probably keep kids on a hold.

Keep The Romance Alive

Many couples feel that they value their time with each other too much. They do not want to have kids and kill the romance. They would rather spend their time with each other than give that time to a baby.

Have A Decent Sex Life

Making love or even touching each other suggestively is too much of a task when you have a small baby. Some kids sleep with their parents making it impossible to have a decent sex life.

Owning Your Life

Once you have kids, your life does not belong to you anymore. You cannot decide to spend the whole weekend lazing in the couch. You have to get up and take care of your kids. You will miss being lazy.

Stretch Marks, Backache and Baby Fat

No matter how much they say that you can get back in shape after having a baby, it is actually a lie. You will have no time to work out and those ugly stretch marks never really go away. If your body comes first for you, don't get pregnant.
