Anti-procreation?
|
If someone was raised by his or her biological family, but hasn't had a good experience with his/her family, does that mean this person is probably anti-procreation?

Cruzgirl,
You're right. The question was not whether or not it' okay to be an "anti-procreationist."

While it is difficult for me to follow such logic, I find that it is expressed frequently on this forum. Many times someone discusses negative feelings about being raised in their adoptive family and find they are immediately branded, “anti-adoption.” Using similar logic, the person you describe would have to be labeled, “anti-procreation.”
Amazing...I never realized how many anti-procreation people are running around this planet! |
|
whatever!
 |
I like your logic! Just because someone speaks about their own adoption story and it isn't the rosy oh so wonderful, people label them anti-adoption. Just because they didn't have a positive adoption experince doesn't mean they are anti-adoption, they are just telling their story. |

No, there is no way of making that assumption. But if the person started espousing anti-procreation views and/or criticizing others who wanted to procreate than one could conclude, whether they had a happy childhood or not, that they were an "anti-procreationist"...
not that there's anything wrong with being an "anti-procreationist"
But that wasn't really the question was it? Interesting question.
ETA-Thank you Laurie (for clarifying). I think I should get a thumbs up for at least understanding the question :-) |

Nope.
I was raised by my biological family. I had a wonderful childhood and family experience.
I could be considered anti-procreation. But I prefer the term Non-Breeder.
I do not understand the desire to have a child. The idea of a crying, leaking, smelly larvae exiting any orifice of my body makes me shudder worse than a horror flick!
I do not want children. I do not want to be around children. I don't even enjoy looking at pictures of children. Or even hearing those stupid "my kid is so cute" stories! |

I would not call it anti-procreation, I'd call it a psychological issue though. I was raised in a pretty negative environment and I didn't ever say I didn't want kids...I DID, however, use that experience to learn NOT how to raise a child. |

Yep that fits. It seems to be that people with 'alleged' or assumed bad adoption experiences are automatically labelled 'anti-adoption' LOL so this makes perfect sense.
Isn't it strange that bio children raised with their natural parents never get called 'anti-procreation' or told they should be grateful someone raised them, or they didn't end up in a dumpster or they should be grateful they weren't aborted lol lol people just love to say this to adoptees though, don't they |

No. I do not believe that we are the regimented products of our environment, but have the ability to make choices.... |

Not really, everyone makes their own choices- people with very good homelives are anti, and there are ppl who have bad bad home lives that want to create better ones! |

To answer the question....no, it does not mean that.
I just wish we could all be Pro-Family regardless of how the family is formed. : ) |

Often, yes, this does happen. People with abusive parents will often think they'd make horrible parents and won't breed. Also, I know many people who were "older siblings" in large families have a "bad experience" with biological familes and decide "procreation" is evil. |
