Do we have anyone here that was the oldest sibling that has no interest in having their own family?

[bcrusaderw]

I sort of raised my little brother, but I don't think it factored into my decision to have children. I've just never liked them.

I helped out with my younger brother and it definitely made me not want to have kids right away.

26 and not a diaper in sight

When I mean oldest sibling, I'm talking about someone who was forced into the role of being the mother/father/guardian/etc?

I'm the oldest of all my siblings from a not so stable home. I have 2 younger siblings that I've spent the majority of my life raising from childhood, to my teenage years, to early adult hood. Hell I still help support my sister through college. When I see my peers have kids, the only thing I can think of is "I've already done that."

I've considered the family life, but I just don't think I could ever do it. I have nothing to give anymore. That kind of responsibility at a young age takes a toll.

I'm not complaining. That's just the reality of the way things were. I'm just curious if my Coli fam can relate?

to you my friend!!

How old are you?

People that say they don't want kids are weird to me, they usually fall into two categories they say they don't want none but end up having some, or are people who can't have none cause of medical (both mental and physical) reasons, they usually end up as really bitter old people

Big sign of unstable mental health is women who say they don't want kids.

Maybe they just don't want kids.

Current situation with my ex/girlfriend. She doesn't want kids ever, and I do.

Told her this relationship is pointless and she got upset

But I don't want kids now, probably when I hit 35 and I'm a bit more stable. But it's a big red flag if chicks don't want kids

People who don't want kids are just weird. I can't imagine being close to death as an old man and realizing you've left no legacy of yourself on this planet. That's the whole point of life.
