[@lucianking1451]

I respect you for that but the others calling him selfish then trying To sell him their beliefs don't understand had he had kids vis opinion likely wouldn't change and the kids life would lot be great and that would lot be fair to his kid people just want to be mad for the sake of being mad.

[@Jazzfan22]

No one should be forced to have kids. I’ve always wanted kids as well and when my son was born it meant so much to me but honestly a lot of people who have kids shouldn’t be parents.

[@abdulelahbinserya1467]

Yes, having kids is the greatest thing mankind still have....

[@ImTheGirlAtHome]

It's definitely NOT for everyone. I've seen too many neglectful parents out there who seem to keep having kids. It's irresponsible, & the child is the one who suffers.

[@Grim.Shadow-69]

[@arabhero10]

As a parent myself, I’ll never push anyone into being a parent. It is hard, it is demanding, it is time consuming. If you’re gonna do it, it better be because you’re 1000% in.

[@SubmachineGN]

Preach. I respect your opinion. There are a lot of parents who aren't 1000% in, and those parents shouldn't be parents. No one should feel forced to have kids. You either want them (when ready) or not. Why can't things be as simple as that. Society in general makes it seem like you need to have kids regardless of how you feel. It's kinda messed up.

Exactly, it’s such a huge decision and being pressured into it never ends well for anyone involved, especially the kids themselves.

YES!!! I do not have time for kids. Nor do I the emotional balance to do so. Just babysitting and see how you feel during/after the job, its the best way to know if you ACTUALLY want to/can deal with child.

[@DripJerry]

As a person who has a younger sister who never fails to disappoint or annoy me, I can confirm that having kids/siblings is the worst thing ever.

[@waterwaifu612]

I am pretty autistic i could not handle children

[@telecastersRthebest]

You do you, Ray. I have a kid and while I love him very much, it can indeed get tiring. It’s not really for everybody and I’m not one to push other people to have kids because I know the struggle firsthand.

[@personsn2586]

My parents weren't meant to have kids and here i am regretting my birth.

[@EriPages]

Respect to your decision. Nobody should be forced to NOT have kids, and nobody should be forced TO have kids.

[@AlexXD307]

we understand Ray and we stand by your choise.Keep doing what is making you happy and keep making that amazing content that actually makes my day a lot better.😊

[@altimotheus819]

You're still like a father figure to many fans, so I thank that's enough "parenting" for one lifetime.

Father figure? And him? If he's a father figure than ur father is ur sugar daddy I guess

probably one of THE Stupidest statements i've heard in my life

[@mylesmanore6197]

While I can say that I'd do my damnest to make sure a child in my care would have the best possible life that I could provide for them, I also can admit to myself that I'm neither financially nor emotionally stable enough to maintain that life, which would lead to the relationship falling apart. I've seen that end in various stages of badly, and I would never wish that upon my own child.

[@sirdemetrius2173]

As someone who wants to have kids, it is your decision. Do whatever you want.

[@shellszhine]

I don't care if people have kids or not, I just care about the nutjobs who want to force it onto others.

[@rebeccavl97]

Very valid points! I'm 26 (soon to be 27) and have zero desire to have kids anytime soon! I just feel it is unfair to bring a child into this world when the world is so messed up!

[@SendMeShoes]

"Look, I have one gaming console and I'm going to be the one who plays it." Highly relatable Ray!

[@krzysztofwilk6751]

I really like that Ray is such an open person. Definitely the guy i can respect and talk to about all sorts of things without being judged.

[@julesm9551]

I respect this guy for not letting society pressure him into doing something he doesn't want to do. People need to leave him alone about it. This is the most important choice a person makes in life, and it shouldn't be taken lightly.

[@momithachoubey786]

“I love my wife, and spending time with her” he is a real man ❤😊

[@kaileyfindley1436]

As someone whose parents want them to have kids and personally am torn, thank you for making my decision clearer for the cons side.

[@odingallow3083]

As I child myself, you're correct. I don't want to have children when I'm older either for all of the reasons you just described. I can't imagine being tasked with taking care of one of the nut jobs I see every week day. Ugh 😖

[@medalion1390]

But Ray, what about all those kids you have locked in your basement?

[@citrusklam9949]

Im one of them. He gave us a phone… for some reason. HELP PLEASE

[@jakezom]

Wtf

[@Randomguyedits4235]

💀 WHAT

[@cherryblue3967]

We don't talk about those

[@betsyfish3623]

I'm one of them to

[@juanmedina4285]

I respect that. Don’t let other people tell you what to do

[@nathannael5140]

Yeah tell em Ray, every kid deserves a parent but not every parent deserves a kid

[@AlleyOopLegend]

I thought you were gonna say “and my wife is pregnant so I’m going to be a father” at the end 😭

[@slxtzz]

As someone who doesn't want kids as well, I feel you. As respect your opinion

[@Xking0822]

As a kid, I give massive respect to you’re opinion.

[@mcc5295]

Nobidy hats kids , this world is just too evil ro bring more here

[@mrbeeoutdoors3213]

I think adoption is actually the most special thing out there, kids are actually *chosen* by adults, the love is normally incredible, its something I think is really important for kids....so if I have any kids, I'll put them up for adoption.

[@Mole-Esther]

Lmao 😂

[@WackO_ZachO]

Lol 😂

[@derrickrevell5795]

Loving being a dad. That being said. If you dont want to be a parent, dont. Its a lot.

[@The.Curious.1]

I personally don’t like children either, and I have a lot of mental issues I do not want to pass on to a child. Everyone says „oh, trust me ur gonna have kids!“. Not to mention have a pretty wacky family, and prefer not to mess up a child’s brain with the family I live in. Children are to much work to begin with, and I also have no desire to have children. I‘m also one of those people when someone says I’ll do something I will purposely not do that thing, cause they told me I’ll do that thing. Anyways, welcome to the no-kids club.

[@nickteak1]

You deserve to be happy ray. I totally understand where you’re coming from.

[@bolt750]

I would rather get a dog than have a kid.

Why can't people just respect other people's freaking decisions? If he doesn't want to have kids, that's his choice, period. There is no discussion to be had here, let him live his effing life.

[@lalnuntluang9440]

IDK why but I'm a kid and I understand all those problems.

[@blackwings724]

Some people are happy with a family. Some people are happy with just a partner. Some people are happy being single. Whatever makes you happy, bro!
