I never wanted kids. I have nothing against them but it really seems like something you really need to want to do or have a good reason for doing it. "Milestone" just wasn't doing it for me, and it didn't help I never met anyone remotely interested in having kids with me.

Had to break up with a couple people who wanted kids, finally met someone else who doesn't want them at all either and it's been great

The worst part is that most people dont have reliable access to abortion, sterilizations, birth controls or good sex education so to them it may be a 'Milestone' that they have no other choice but to do.
