I made a topic before about having no kids 30+ years old in the black community. I'm an only child and always wanted more than one child. I was engaged and done wrong by a female who caused me financial trouble because she promised to give me a certain amount before I bought a house. Of course she lied and didn't work and told me men should provide and pay for everything. That's fine but if she felt that way...tell me that before I buy a big home made for 2 incomes. She was selfish, ungrateful and inconsiderate. Anyway she had a miscarriage and I am over 30 trying to fix my financial situation and with no kids.
In the black community, people look at folks with the side eye or think something is wrong with u if u have no kids by a certain age. Some may feel that u gay or lesbian, infertile, not a real man or woman, a selfish career person who don't wanna provide parents with grandchildren, or they may think u weird. It's natural in us to want to have kids...but the ones who impose that or think negatively about us not having them don't understand there may be reasons why we don't. Maybe we don't wanna have kids out of wedlock and want a two parent household, maybe we have financial hardship, maybe we haven't met right woman or man to have them with, maybe we can't have them...everyone isn't super fertile, maybe we don't wanna deal with baby mama drama, maybe we not ready financially, mentally, emotionally, etc. for kids, etc.
One thing I dislike is when people be so judgemental and not see things from another side. And when people tell u to have kids but not help u to provide for them. How they gonna tell u what to do but they not paying ur bills or if u have a kid....not willing to help babysit or pay for baby items and food. Some need to mind their business and let people live their lives.
