Same here. My interest in having kids was shot to hell several years ago (thanks to a job I worked once). I have people tell me that it's an obligation to reproduce, and carry on a legacy. I haven't done anything majorly special with my life, so there's really no legacy to pass down. People think I'll make a really good father, but if there's no interest, then I don't want to do it because there's the chance that I'll just regret it and become one of those parents who wishes he didn't have kids, and might even end up telling his kids that.

I think the closest to having kids I can see myself, is having those of the canine and feline variety, and I've already got one of the latter. So there.
