Why No Kids?!?!?!?

Most of the time it's just conversation - likely childless couples get a rude response because they initiated a rude comment on the subject or have a chip on their shoulder or so (see many of the comments above).

Not always, but most of the time.

Umm more like never.
I get told i can't be a teacher if i am not a parent
When i (or my wife) have been in conversations about it, it's like the parents are saying "if we suffer them, you should too"

Because I know when to pull out.

Learn to be happy. You can't be there for anybody else in life if you can't learn to be there for yourself.

If I were a man and I was too dumb to pull out ...

Anyone else see the irony in this statement?

"I can't afford my own life style... what makes you think I want to introduce a sponge into it!!"

That normally gets a shocked look, and less prying in the future.

How about - "I don't like commitment so I just make donations at the bank"?

A man without a mustache is like a hamburger without a bun, Un-American.

"Cuz I hate kids, and I'm too selfish."

But I don't usually get asked why not, I get told that I "still have time". That's when I tell them that I hate kids and my husband is fixed so it ain't gonna happen.

Then they tell me how "lucky" I am to have all this free time to travel, skydive, etc. I say, "it's not luck, it's a choice I made." I still can't believe how many people have kids because they think its just a given in life. Whatever.
