I don’t have kids, I don’t want kids. Why is that made out to be some horrible thing by so many people?

It's not. Unless you're a woman (kidding, kidding). Seriously, there are good reasons not to allow a culture of disdain towards having children, but not everybody should have them. The ones that can't understand why some people would choose not to have kids should count their blessings - life can do cruel things to some people and spare others. There is also a common characteristic that I've seen in people where they want everyone to do what they are doing in order to validate their own choices and circumstances. Marriage is not for some people, for whatever reasons, and children (who should be brought into the world within marriages) are not for everyone either. People can refuse to have children for selfish reasons, but they can also have them for selfish reasons as well.
