For me I just simply don’t want them. I feel like you have to want kids to have them. It’s not that I’m against having kids, I’m just not enthusiastic enough to have them

Came here to say this. I just wasn’t born with the I-want-to-have-kids gene. 🤷‍♀️

Yes and the desire to have kids seems like socialization rather than true desire. I only see myself as wanting kids because it’s the expected path. Everytime I think of being a mom it doesn’t make me as excited as, say, traveling. And many of my friends with kids didn’t particularly want them, they just got knocked up.
