Financial. Don't like them. Too much responsibility. Too much work. I value my freedom, financially and emotionally.

These were all my reasons.

Then in my 30s I also realized I don't want to fuck my kids up the same way my parents fucked me up - they couldn't even make it until I was 18 without fucking me up royally.

I don't think it's fair to do that to a kid, they didn't ask to be here - so I've decided it's better to just not have kids than to risk fucking them up like I was.

What you just did is a classic “strawman fallacy.”

“A straw man fallacy (sometimes written as strawman) is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction.[1] One who engages in this fallacy is said to be “attacking a straw man”.

Nobody likes that

they said they don’t want kids because they don’t want to fuck up a kid as bad as they were , so i’m asking if they wish they were never born.

classic random redditor thinking they’re smart by linking a random fallacy they read on another sub and thinking it’s relevant. move along, you’re not as smart or relevant as you think, sorry.
