Also if the child has autism, or a significant learning disability the child would not be worth the investment and only be a liability. The less liabilities the better and more money for me.

Be thankful for people who realize they don't want kids, and then refuse to have them. That's a very mature thing to do. What a damned foul thing it is to bring a child into this world you actually don't want, OR cannot/will not adequately provide for.

As a child from a broken home I can say everything you said about parents not really caring for their children is correct. Even when I was volunteering as a youth group leader the kids stories all started to have a similarity, bad parents. It's been over 11 years no contact with my biological mother because I couldn't handle one more day of her narcissism. When I read a statement on Facebook one day that said "all mothers are awesome, and should be respected or else you're being disrespectful" I left an honest reply (It was one of those days lol) We need more honesty Aaron, it may not sound pretty or politically correct but it creates change for the better so thank you for telling it like it is. The truth hurts but it also sets you free and if people enjoy running in blind circles in the land of smoke and mirrors well I suggest they become a politician, I hear the retirement plan is pretty good lol,

[@ThreeCoast]

Most women my age are becoming more available outside bars and would initially announce they are looking to settle down and have a kid. Noticably available. The most common response i get after asking why they need a kid to settle down was to raise it to have it take care of her when she gets old. Like some sort of a goddamn retirement plan. If this is as universal and natural a reason can get when deciding to have a kid, then i want no part of this matrix.

[@meganhulan]

This is a great and refreshing video. I'm 27 and married to my husband for 2 years (been together for 6 years). No plans for kids now or ever. :) Ever since I was in high school I became aware that I didn't want to have children. I wrestled with this because of society's view being "When are you having kids?" and if you don't then that must mean: you are a selfish person who will be lonely with no one to take care of you. Just to note that, it really drives me when people say these things: if they're afraid of being lonely or that they need someone to take care of them when they're old then maybe they should be producing better retirement plans vs possible retirement child. There's never a guarantee that your needs will be met by your children (nor should that be asked of them) and if those are your reasons for having children (having a care taker and to have company) then you shouldn't be having any. If you do want to have a child then you give them everything you can and the best of everything. It's about them now, many parts about you are put aside. You're doing this to have someone to share your love, watch them grow, share traditions and want the best for them. It's not right to expect anything in return. That is not the reason you brought this child into this world and this is a burden that shouldn't be expected of your child. I for one, do not like children. I find them annoying, time consuming, dirty, loud, expensive, rude, greedy, exhausting, and sure, they're kids! That's normal! What do you expect? I just know the pros do not outweigh the cons when it comes to me having a child. I don't want the responsibility or the commitment because cute babies are not babies for long (like puppies which I would much rather have) and your life is never the same. I like my life. I like to spend my money, use my time and make plans based on myself and my husband. Not a kid. It's frustrating when people seem shocked or judge or ask why? First, how rude of you to ask! What if I can't have children? Thanks a lot for pointing that out. Secondly, what's it matter to you? You gonna raise it? The backlash and the shock was hard to deal with but I'm working in a much bigger city where the majority of my coworkers seem to be more on my wave of thinking. *I'm choosing to be child free. *I'm more comfortable in our relationship admitting I'm happy to be a fur mom (I have 5 kitties and I'm slowly moving up to a dog). I'm very lucky to have a husband who feels the same way as well. *My parents are not the type to be hounding for grandchildren. They agree that not having them can lead to a life that can be just as fulfilling.

I was let down by women time & time again. i improved their lives immensley & didnt get anything back but whining & an empty wallet. I was very direct about my views on kids with them so much so i think i scared them into not getting knocked up without my permission & if i couldnt see them take the pill i didnt screw them. By the time i hit 35, it wasnt looking good with women as my standards had gone way up & their attributes had gone way down to the point where i didnt even date much. So, i did the responsible thing & got a vasectomy at age 36. No woman can steal my money,house,use me as a wage slave or use kids against me. I refuse to conside marriage & let them move in. Its just better for long term peace of mind & security. I dont rely on government & want to live an independant life on my terms, not governments , the courts or some disgruntled exs.

[@indriddragon]

That's utter bullshit. I do agree that in many ways we're not being efficient with the resources we have, but we have not out populated the capacity of the earth. We only need to work on using resources more efficiently, which I believe we have in recent years. There will always be some form of work or paid opportunities. Even if bombs fell, the survivors would have needs and barter with each other. Forget the idea of being a victim of external circumstances. Equality and a comfortable life for all is not guaranteed, and the idea that anyone deserves it as a right is bullshit. Life is sacred. The major purpose of this world is to house us. Without us, it would practically be worthless. It is a God given plane of existence for us to grow, learn, and choose or reject Him. The greatest opportunity you can give a human spirit is to offer it the opportunity for life. Doesn't matter how crappy this world is. There have always been ups and downs, feasts and famine. You should never determine a child shouldn't be brought into the world because life is tough.

When u said the people that choose not to have kids care way more about kids then the people that have kids that’s straight facts

[@angelikabrown4247]

yup

[@LeviFlint]

Fully agree with you on this. I know I don't want kids, but I have this internal guilt that just pulls at me from time to time. Good to know guys like us aren't alone.

[@athenastarbrite2955]

The shock wave from the glasses hitting the table. It warmed my heart. 😂

[@Rocco_Dimeo]

Awesome, I've literally said all of these things, glad there are more of us out there. Great video.

[@wifi2166]

Im against kids but if you really want kids, pick one of the millions in poverty or foster homes rather than bringing in a new human into this crazy world

[@athalia3661]

I don't see what is so selfish about not wanting kids? It is more selfish to not be sure, or know you don't want kids and then have them anyways.

[@joep2642]

This society punishes smart people for having children.

[@studentofsmith]

Having a child is an 18 year commitment in which another human beings needs come before your own. Sounds an awful lot like slavery to me but apparently you're 'selfish' for not wanting to sign up.

[@whowhatwhenwherewhyandhow]

It is not 18 years. It’s a lifetime.

[@cumquatsarentsweet2760]

as a mother of a special needs kid i approve of this message you're not selfish you're infact a good parent who spared his kids 👏🖖🧿🕊⚘❤ congratulations

[@angelforfreedom]

Everything you said here is SO bloody true.

[@DeemanThomas-bn9qi]

I love my childless selfish peaceful life

[@WhiteWolfBlackStar]

If I could thumbs UP this video A MILLION TIMES- I'd do it TWICE! MORE PLEASE!

[@chintz7428]

Pfff Selfish not having kids? No, not selfish having kids because Muscular dystrophy runs in my family, and I do not want a male child to suffer like crazy, end up in a wheelchair by 13 years old and live to the age of 16 or 17 while suffering. I throw that in the person's face who calls me selfish. Thanks this is a good video.

[@skylinefever]

I also refuse to have children because I have chronic illnesses. Those children would be a drain on the system, and yet some alt-right people still want me to have children simply because I am white.

[@jong8876]

Its nice that use 2 thought carefully about your situation well done

[@ishiiblanks]

MY GUY!! Homie, I’m late... I just discovered these gems. Thanks, homeboy!!!

[@HOTRAILProductions]

My reasons for not having kids include not only the burden of not enjoying life, but also that I do not want to expose them to what the media is spewing out and brainwashing them with!

[@donteatpaint]

Ah the early days of Asshole Consulting. This is a classic.

[@sweetcara14]

There is a lot of truth to what you say for about half the people out there who have children. However, it is only half the story. I don't begrudge you your right to not have them, and I never asked for, nor do I support, anyone else paying for the care of my children. A better argument would be that our children do not belong to us anymore, since the government has become powerful enough to assume control. They promised free stuff and everyone played the fiddle while Rome burned....

[@FunOfTheChase]

Most kids are mistakes. A good dose of Schopenhaeurian anti-natalism will bring amusement to any rainy day.

[@vaibai5869]

Killer argument , Aaron! Liked it a lot.

[@stratagize]

This is SOOO good!! Wish I could give it 100 thumbs up.

[@amourelie.s9564]

i love kids and would love to have one, one day... but, I most definitely agree with what you're said here in this video

[@wewewops5050]

here's another thing though. your more selfless than others because if your child become self aware. self aware to the point where you realize existence is by chance, nothing special, and painful your sparring those who become like that. so keep doing what your doing mane.

[@Selrisitai]

I'm really enjoying this video. Excellent job.

[@johnsondailysports1341]

I’ve literally been watching since 2012. He has taught me a lot but too bad I already have a worthless finance degree lol

[@jonathandoe69]

The selfishness arguments comes from the fact that your parents had to do the exact same thing with you. Not wanting to improve yourself enough to be able to support a kid can also be seen as stubborn and childish. I respect your view though and that of others who don't want to raise children.

[@sexysadie2901]

That makes no sense. They had to do that because they chose to have him. Cf are not selfish, because there's no one to be selfish against.

[@MrSteve0311]

Friggin amazing video right here, spot on. There was another awesome video by Stefan Molyneaux that addresses similar points, I wish I remembered which one! Basically, these parents (if there actually ARE two parents, since that's too much to ask nowadays) are running around, stressing, scrambling to make with 2 incomes what could be made with 1 income 30 years ago. They are coming home tired, sheep shepherding the kids from one thing to another, going to sleep and then doing it all again the next day. Haggard, tired and impoverished wrecks who spend 40+ hours a week paying OTHER PEOPLE to raise their kids for them. Who the hell wants that?

[@Benjaminovsky]

I will never have children, NO, NEVER

[@imadn4147]

Benjaminovsky I hope you are not lieing, I have heard the Same thing from many people before they had became parents

[@adambakas13]

Recently i have been going in the direction of getting licensed as an EMT and then going into firefighting which could get me 50,000 dollars a year and i have no children, what do you guys think?

[@mardigbidanian7119]

I think what it comes down to is that some cannot afford kids . Because life is too expensive in Canada , there is too much competition for good jobs or any job for that matter . There is also too much competition for resources like real estate . So putting kids in situations where it's very clearly above our ability to properly take care of kids is perhaps is better option while for ourselves we can find other solutions to structure our lives.

[@nightfire4107]

Love how the video is all natural. He even pulls out a piece of paper lol

[@TampaBayMoFo]

I completely agree. Well said my friend. Thanks.

Love the passion. The Apostle Paul said it's better to remain single.

[@krazeemetalchickstewart9961]

So many benefits to not having kids

[@enjoiKID24]

Idk about this one Clarey. Comparing a dog to a child is dumb-woman-think. My older brother had a daughter about three years ago and she has probably been the best thing to happen to my family in years. Definitely more enjoyable and undeniably more important than some stupid smelly mutt. But I do agree with the notion that a lot of kids are born to uncaring parents, people ho should have never had kids in the first place.

[@mark7362]

Tbh I always thought the chair scraping noise was like one of those super old toilets that have a chain flushing sound effect

[@Kenji314159]

I can't believe I watched 1:30 how you got ready for this video, but it's already entertaining.

[@dmike3507]

I agree with the basic sentiment behind what you're saying. I don't like kids and enjoy living a childfree life, but to be perfectly honest I think the reasons you give for not having kids in this video aren't very good. In fact there are far BETTER reasons for not having kids than those you present here. For instance, as a matter of pure fact, it is MORE selfish to have kids than to not. The only reasons people seem to have for wanting kids is they get warm fuzzy feelings and they want to carry on their legacy. Parents make this decision themselves without caring about what other people think, regardless of how irresponsible and shortsighted the decision may be (and, of course, it often is!). Um, really? Those sound pretty selfish to me. Versus NOT having kids, which is a very selfless act: you are sacrificing your own personal legacy & warm fuzzy feelings in order to do great things for the world. Such as, get an education where you can get a higher paying job and use that money to care for your existing friends & family. And you also prevent the #1 cause of global destruction: human beings! Overpopulation presents a serious threat to the global ecosystem. Not only that but the world is a horribly shitty place, if you really loved kids would you really want them to have to experience the horrors of life?

[@PaulGreen11]

Why I never had children; I wanted to pursue myself AND FIND MYSELF first. Don't get me wrong, I wanted the love of a wife and kids and a stable home. But, I wasn't able attract a wife to create a stable with. So, was I supposed to make the kids anyway? Wouldn't that be incredibly irresponsible of me? Wouldn't I only blame my kid(s) for not having enough time to pursue my happiness because I spent most of my time securing and protecting their happiness? Was I supposed to tell myself and everyone else, "I live for my kids." "My kids are my everything!" Was I supposed to Just Understand that I can't be happy so I'm gonna have a child and make them as happy as they can and thus, at least, a part of me will be happy? Yes, to have a 20something who loves me as Dad and looks in on me from time to time and gives me grand kids to enjoy would beautiful. Now, at my age, my heart aches for that. But, 30yrs ago, my heart ached for me. And I didn't want to let myself down by not giving myself the best chance possible to be ME. Did I become who I wanted to be? Not completely. In fact, I'd say I fell way short. But, that's the road I chose. And I'm glad I didn't have to ask anyone to carry my burdens for me. When I die, I'll be dead. My funeral may not be as pretty as yours. In fact, I probably won't have a funeral, just a standard state cremation of an unclaimed corpses. If I don't get a chance to before then, Goodbye, Peace, and I wish things could have been better between us. I'll see you in a hundred years.

[@RAHULTMNT100]

who are you talking to ?

[@WhiteWolfBlackStar]

THANK YOOO! I LOVE YOOO! I APPRECIATE YOOO! People have NO CLUE what FEMALES go thru who make the childless choice.... no clue How I even survived my own childhood is still a mystery to me- WHY on EARTH would I want a repeat of that? Childless and HAPPY thank Yooo :)

[@WhiteWolfBlackStar]

Don't get me wrong - I LIKE KIDS- but as a girl you HAVE to make THE CHOICE- and it can brand you FOR LIFE. Many people don't realize that as they're shredding away on MY PERSONAL CHOICE nor do they take into consideration, maybe I'm on a different path than they are on, maybe I have my OWN REASONS for MY CHOICE. I don't EAT babies for lunch, I chose to do my own thing... BIG DIFFERENCE. Also I ROCK as Auntie Wendi :)
