It shouldn't be so taboo to admit this. Especially prior to having children. People still get treated like they're a monster if they're past 30 and say they don't want kids. They get treated like a child who doesn't know their own mind if they say so earlier than that.

I've experienced the latter part of your sentence a lot.

I get told "you don't know that yet, it'll come later, you just don't like other people's kids" like no fuck you I don't like children and I don't want them.

It's so common. Yes, some people change their minds, in both directions. Most often, though, you have people who never change their minds but just magically oopsie ended up with kids and now they have to be all in on it.

There's nothing wrong with changing your mind, but there is very much something wrong with denigrating people for what they want or don't want out of life.

Hang in there. It mostly gets better once you're old enough that people stop asking if you're going to have kids.

Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!

About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net) and a an extra or two randoms.

Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!
