2. Money- Kids cost money and lots of it.

3. Peace- Let’s face it, kids are noisy and there’s no quiet to be had if you have them.

4. Travel- No, you just can’t pack up and leave when you have kids.

5. Personal time- No time for themselves or alone time with their spouse.

7. Responsibility- Kids are a HUGE responsibility they don’t want.
