What is your opinion why people shouldn't have children?

If we announced hunger games for children only i would allow you.

overpopulation comes to mind

1) Some people are too selfish to have children. They put their own desires ahead of their children and make decisions (such as having affairs) or spending recklessly that put their children's home and family in jeopardy.

2) Some people are sociopaths and have no empathy for anyone. There are times when children need sympathy and encouragement and they aren't likely to get it with a sociopathic parent.

3) Some parents are so wrapped up in their careers that they spend little time with their children. The kids are raised by nannies and boarding school rather than their parents.

4) Some parents are addicted to alcohol or drugs and their addictions take priority over their children. Their children are raised in an environment that is abusive or neglectful and they don't get the attention or nurturing that they need.

Ok for one this really depends on the person because some people can actually make good parents while others wouldn't. For example people who are continuously doing drugs and drinking and often go out to places like bars and clubs shouldn't have kids at all. The same thing goes for adults who are toxic and/or haven't grown up yet such as adults who still throw tantrums or adults who participate in brawls, especially if they do it infront of the kids and people who are just awful human beings to begin with shouldn't have kids either. However this doesn't apply to everyone who decides to have children because some people can actually make good parents.

People can do what they want as long as they aren’t doing anything to you.

They shouldn't have children just to make their partner happy.  When two people are in a relationship, both people should agree on having or not having children.  When one person in the partnership didn't really want children, it just makes it harder on everyone.

People who can't afford children shouldn't have children.

Children shouldn't be having children.  If you aren't at least 20 - you shouldn't have a baby.

Real life may sometimes seem similar to shows on television but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to have the life you want to have.  If someone wants to have children and wants a family - then they should do it if they can afford it and feel like they are emotionally ready for it.  

And my partner and I DID discuss many of the "pros" and "cons" to having children.  Before we had our first baby, we had many discussions about all the "what if" things that can happen with children.  We have two daughters who are now adults (age 25 and 30).  My husband and I are still married (33 years).  And our daughters are still very close to us.  I am not saying we might not have made some mistakes - but the overall experience of having children and raising our family was a positive and bonding experience for my husband and I.  And since our adult children still talk to us on a regular basis, we must have done more right things than wrong things.

People have different choices, when it comes to having children. 

Well, one thing is certain... people should not have children if they are unable to form coherent sentences.
