Smart. Doesn't feel like having to deal with kids yelling and running around. also, everyone with kids will leave early, theoretically, because they have someone taking care of their kids. I don't know if that's a plus or not.

I understand it, but find it rather tough. Children are part of society. However, that is their choice, as it is also the choice to accept or refuse an invitation.

I wouldn't want kids there either. They don't really have very well developed executive functioning or self-control. Why would I want to ruin my experience of an important even in my life just so someone I probably don't care that much about to begin with doesn't have to hire a babysitter? It's the couple's day - they're hosting, they and their families are paying, it's about them. You're invited to share the day with them, not to impose on them.

The meaning and purpose of marriage is the biological union that joins two families in blood. If you aren't not intending to join your families in the blood of your children, you are not talking about a real marriage.

My wife didn't want to have children. I was fine with her decision. She also didn't want to get married either. I respected both of her decisions. In time she changed her mind and we got married and she is now pregnant but if she hadn't changed her mind I would still be fine with it. I love her with or without children.

It is a choice, after all humanity is not exactly on the endangered species list.

It seems to me whoever that person is, they have looked at this tragic world and don't want the fact they brought a child into it on their conscience.
I'd say whoever that is, is a realist, I'd stick with that person and rely on their advice, they're solid and sensible.
Too many people are bringing children into this world without looking at the long term situation.
We are in a Global Financial Crisis, things haven't improved, they're getting worse.
Please don't bring children into this, it will be decades, if ever, before this recovers, meantime this world is going to be a shocking place for all concerned.

Why should I feel anything? They're probably smart since they don't follow what the society says and don't have kids because they don't want kids.
Imagine the life of an unwanted child...

I am beyond the age of having children and go my junk snipped, so I have no problem with it.

Can't be mad at them for what they want. It's like being mad at them for the colors they chose for the wedding

That's like putting on a condom and not wanting sex. Marriage serves no function but to set up the legal basis for child support after the divorce. Otherwise all they've done is have a party to tell people that they love each other.

It's their right, their choice and their business. I'm not going to judge them.
