I think alot of people feel this way and I do think that some people who have children shouldn't have children and that many have children for the absolute wrong reasons.

Exactly! Whatever it is that makes someone say "I want to have n kids," I don't have it (nor does my wife). My wife is from Mexico and we got it pretty bad the first few years we were married. But we were much too old (in our late 30s) and eventually stopped getting bugged.

When you are child-free it is amazing how many laws and attitudes are setup to punish you. There is a big bias but I put up with it.

I have also seen a LOT of people who shouldnot have kids but have them anyway because they are too stupid not to. Those situations are just sad and tragic.

My husband and I don't have kids either, but the pressure from family is fairly annoying.

I like kids fine and enjoy playing with my nieces, but hubby and I are enjoying the romance of being a couple (nearly 12 years!)

Yes, and the same is true (only more so) for singles.
