If I don't feel an emotional pull to have kids, then the next best justification for or against is logic. I'm sure if I felt an overwhelming emotional need to have kids I wouldn't consider these things or I'd figure "That's okay, we can overcome them" or "It's worth it."

The fact of the matter is that I don't emotionally, right now, want to have kids. As a result, my reasons to have kids or not are decided by things other than emotion.

Edit: I also think that you can probably tell that from my post. If I did emotionally want to have kids I think you'd see a lot more conflict in my statements, like "Oh I wish but I just don't feel..." and so on.

I'm pretty unilateral about it, tbh.

At minimum before I'd think about having kids I want a partner who will be there to help raise them - because I want someone who will mitigate my weak childrearing spots, and vice versa. I want someone I can trust to help me raise great kids. I want someone whose strengths compliment my flaws and who makes me feel like kids are a real viable option instead of just a thought.

I don't think that's unreasonable to have as a minimum requirement before considering childrearing and raising.
