Your view of things starts to change a little when your friends start getting married and having kids, and I imagine it changes drastically when you yourself are in that boat.

Thanks for engaging in conversation maturely there. I wasn't talking about you in particular (and I think you know that), I was responding to what you said:

Maybe I should've used the more proper but stuffy "one" instead of "you" in what I said above, but I figure you (yes, actually you now) would understand what I meant. In any case, I stand by my general statement that people who are barely out of childhood themselves are fairly unlikely to be completely sure that they don't want kids. I'm sure there are some who totally know exactly what they want in this regard, but those are exceptions, not the rule.

I say this hesitantly because I don't want to seem rude, but I think it's kind of immature for anyone to be so sure they'll never have kids. What makes you so different or special from other human beings? Don't you think many of our own parents ever felt the same way? Also, a lot of us are very young. Who are you to say you know who or where you'll be in some years? Ask anyone what they remember about being in their early 20s.
jhocking:
Heck, I barely remember my mid-20s.
a pack of wolves:
A lot of human beings don't want and never have children so having no desire for them doesn't make you special or different at all. Technically I might change my mind and decide I do want kids after all at some point. I might also become a Christian, vote conservative and take a job in middle management. I could change my mind about anything, but it isn't very likely I'll go that way. The thing I find odd is that if you say you don't want children people will always be so sure that you'll change your mind when you get older. Some people just aren't interested. Kids are nice and everything but why are people always so sure you'll feel unfulfilled or something if you decide not to have any of your own?
