There's a quote of Philip K. Dick that says: “There exists, for everyone, a sentence - a series of words - that has the power to destroy you". Which sentence is it for you?

Because people can’t fathom the idea of not wanting children.

They either already have children and want you to be as miserable as they are, or they drank the Kodak moments too hard and don’t realize how bad it actually is.

r/childfree frequently gets posts from parents saying they regret having kids. They’re redirected to the other, more appropriate support subreddits.

Don’t have kids if you don’t want them. Don’t let people fool you into thinking it’s not that bad or it’s different when they’re your own. If a significant other is trying to convince you to have kids, leave them and give them the opportunity to have kids with somebody else.

Also, if you want kids and you date a childfree person who has made it clear that children are not happening, that’s on you.
