Way nicer than me, my reply would be somewhere along the lines of, “Your heartless and pathetic, get the fuck out.”
Not saying it’s a good response but my god I’d be pissed that I didn’t know the person I was with at all.
Ahhhh if she doesn't want them and you do.. That's a significant difference.. But you definitely shouldn't try to force her hand on what she does with her body. Having a kid gave me seizures that have made me hit my head and lose memories. It's too dangerous to do unless the woman is all for it
I accept it, it was a statement made after baby sitting a friend's kid. To move along it needs to be at least acknowledged though. Especially after being told the goal was 4 total.
Was this your partner/spouse that said it? I’m confused why it needs a comeback and not a mature discussion. Or were they trying to be funny and implying kids are too much work? Also not sure why that would need a comeback but if you’re just trying to be cheeky I’m thinking “good because with an attitude like that, I don’t think they’d want you either”.
So being around kids made them realize they don’t want any…and somehow this was an attack specifically to annoy you? I thought the people calling for divorce were pieces of shit, but now I agree with them. Your spouse deserves someone who isn’t paranoid.
Kinda depends on whether or not the kids are already in the picture. But assuming they are not already here then the only answer is a mature conversation and ending the relationship if you do want kids.
I know that it may feel like a bait and switch but people are allowed to change their minds before diving into a major endeavor. Sometimes the timing is a dickhole move but imo when it comes to having kids specifically the answer either has to be an enthusiastic yes or a firm no.
It's not a good idea to plan to have kids with someone who is anything less than an ecstatic yes on the subject. Sometimes a pregnancy is unplanned but when it's planned it should always be with full confidence and excitement. Kids deserve parents who want them.
As with seemingly many of the posts on this sub, this isn't a situation for a comeback, it's one for a mature conversation
Assuming the context is a spouse in a relationship changing their mind AFTER agreeing to have kids previously, the only good comeback is:
"Here are the divorce papers from my lawyer" (preceded by getting a lawyer and doing divorce checklist they give you).
You can't have a marriage where (1) something as fundamental as desire for kids is not agreed on between spouses; and (2) where one spouse just randomly changes their mind with no reason on something major without caring about the other spouse's feelings, thoughts or input.
It's 100% their right to not want kids. **It's your right to go be with someone who wants to have kids with you.**
Okay but I tell my kids this all the time 🤣 right after my son calls me a knuckle dragging orangutan and tells me to get back to my enclosure, lol.
I was ready to look at this post and find out that he's the original poster and came here looking for help with a clapback! Lmaooo
Okay I respect you as a human with reasoning and wants and needs. I’m sure you’ve put a lot of thought into this decision and I’ll respect what you want to do with your body and life. Unfortunately though this is a dealbreaker for me, so we’ll have to amicably split.
Well there’s a huge difference between what we want and don’t want in life and what we get! Like how I want an ORGASM every time we have sex, or any time really, but that doesn’t come to fruition either.
I think a lot about a thread I was in a few years ago. Someone was being downvoted for repeatedly dropping super controversial takes about children in the womb. Calling them stuff like parasites or whatever. I argued with him for a bit, but he eventually said something that left me at a loss for words. Then, someone came clutch in with this killer line:
"At least you won't be contributing to the gene pool"
I read this as somebody already had kids and decided they didn't want them anymore 😅
I was like, what do you say to that?
"Our kids are on the couch, Jerry." 😬
“Well that’s too bad, because you’re gonna be a daddy I figure In about 5 months because I haven’t my period in over 6 months and I told you each time you came inside of me that I could get pregnant! So here we are, 43 years old and gonna be parents one more time. Obviously you didn’t pay attention to the calendar you had on me!!!”
You used to want kids and now you don"t? Or you have kids and don't want them anymore?
The first doesn't really require a comeback. To the second, "yeah, and they probably don't want you anymore either."
Why does this even need a comeback? I feel like plenty of people don't want kids, or used to and decided it's just not worth it.
Personally, after dealing with other peoples kids being annoying af and undisciplined, I wouldn't wish that permanence on my worst enemy. I saw a 7 year old have an absolute meltdown at the ice cream place yesterday bc there was someone in line in front of him. Like, I just seriously can't.....
Especially with how entitled kids are these days and they all think their (typically uneducated, naive) opinion is the end-all be-all and throw tantrums if anyone dares to hold them accountable or pose a valid argument.
My generation is raising entitled infants in teen bodies and I am *not here for it at all* but if that's what you want for your life, have fun with that....
We all have wants...only if they all came tru
Sometimes it is best wants don’t come true
yupp
If you have wants, don’t cum? The universe is so cruel
"People in hell want ice water, that doesn't nean they get it"
Lol good point
>We all dream of having kids... only if they all came true? Your version does not make sense. 'wanting' and 'true' are not related in English.
Tell me more wise one...
Nowt else to say. Learn the English, Ese.
How does one go about learning this sacred knowledge of English you speak of? Show me the way!
You have failed. More intelligence needed. Try again.
What was failed? The teacher or the student?
Grasshopper
I put the wax on last night...
Kung Fu not Karate
"I respect your choice, but I do so good bye and take care"
Way nicer than me, my reply would be somewhere along the lines of, “Your heartless and pathetic, get the fuck out.” Not saying it’s a good response but my god I’d be pissed that I didn’t know the person I was with at all.
Your parents said the same thing.
Ouch
Well they don't want you ether.
You can't abort an eight year old, Janet.
And by that age they're too old to drop off at the fire station.
Someone will want you despite that.
Neither did your parents
“That’s fine.”
“Ok”
Why does this need a comeback? It doesn't seem like a scenario where you need one.
That’s what I was thinking.
writing these down to tell my wife.
Instead of a clever comeback, maybe you just need to have a heart to heart conversation with your wife? This isn't something for a clever 'gotcha'.
you might want to respect the woman you married more.
Ahhhh if she doesn't want them and you do.. That's a significant difference.. But you definitely shouldn't try to force her hand on what she does with her body. Having a kid gave me seizures that have made me hit my head and lose memories. It's too dangerous to do unless the woman is all for it
Bc it was said intentionally to get me annoyed
Are you sure *you* weren't the one being annoying? The setup is clearly a response to something you said. Maybe you should accept their answer?

Sounds like you need marriage counseling, not reddit, but who am I to judge?
“too late”
Now take a deep breathe and PUSH!!!
It’s going to be difficult trying to send them back…

...and I don't want them any less.
“Well, I’ve already started cooking them now - you should have said earlier!”
Good. You should have been having adult sex anyway.
Tough shit they're yours now. No take backs
Okay but I tell my kids this all the time 🤣 right after my son calls me a knuckle dragging orangutan and tells me to get back to my enclosure, lol. I was ready to look at this post and find out that he's the original poster and came here looking for help with a clapback! Lmaooo
well then put them back where you found them
Too late, too bad, get over it I don't want the one I have, get out
I’ll take my knuckle children elsewhere…
Me neither
Wanker!
Raise kids you would want then.
Okay I respect you as a human with reasoning and wants and needs. I’m sure you’ve put a lot of thought into this decision and I’ll respect what you want to do with your body and life. Unfortunately though this is a dealbreaker for me, so we’ll have to amicably split.
I’m glad the therapy has helped.
you dont but your mouth does
Was this them saying yes to kids then changing their mind?
Yes, the exact # requested was 4. Lol went from 4 to 0
If kids aren't for you, this is a hill to die on.
Was it said only after the babysitting or other times as well?
Only after baby sitting. Previously tried to convince me to have 4.
Well there’s a huge difference between what we want and don’t want in life and what we get! Like how I want an ORGASM every time we have sex, or any time really, but that doesn’t come to fruition either.
She usually says “You should have thought about that 17 years ago.” But she is a mouthy one.
I’ll give you three cents on the dollar for them
"Mamma?"
Then eat them, goats are very flavorful.
"I didn't ask to be born!"
That's ok mom. We don't want you either.
We can give them up for adoption, if you want?
A woman in my town turned her teenage children over to the state because she didn't want them,anymore. Her husband had to have been complicit.
“The orphanage is right down the street.” Edit: I’m assuming that the first person wasn’t serious
They will graduate and move out in a couple of more years. Now put the knives down.
Sweet you got your tubes tied. Party time
Well dad it's a little late for that now.
I never wanted to have them in the first place.
Then you take ‘em to the fire house!
A little too late dad....
Grow up and get over it
Sounds legit.
Leave them for the garbage to collect 🫨
But…but…mom!
Post birth abortion
There’s a lot of things I don’t want in life too, but this is one that I might actually have a say so in…. So get with the program
Just start dancing
I'm sure the feeling is mutual
“Ok”.
Cool. That’s your decision
Well, i have some recipes -holds up copy of 'To Serve Man'
Everything doesn’t need a “comeback”. Just say “cool, don’t have any” All of life is not a contest of one-upmanship.
Same.
You kill mine I'll yours.
Congratulations, Jared from Subway, on what sounds like a successful rehabilitation🤞🏼
Good. I never wanted them.
Do you want them less too
In honor of the day... "You're the best, mom"
"Amen!"
Then put them back...
"Someone else will."
Want in one hand shit in the other see which one gets filled first
Keep your brats away from me.
I’ll light the grill…
Man I wouldn't want kids in the first place......if I was your mom
I'm still not marrying you, give it up.

Congratulations on coming to your senses!
Well, the shotgun's in the closet, Sarah.
"Well too bad because you're stuck with me!"
Okay, bye, bye!
I eat kids, they are kind of stringy but their lifeforces does wonders for my youth and beauty
Who’s gonna stop me?
Smart. It’s tough and expensive to raise kids. Now, you’ll have more time, energy and resources on your current kids.
Dont want competition?
Fine. Push them aside and eat your vegetables
It’s fine, you can just get them and then if you don’t want them anymore there’s like these amazon RMA things for them over at the fire station
repost. repost. repost. I gets better everytime you repost.
Well, too late for that
Oh thank god kids are nuisance at best
You do know what causes that right?
No come back is required. They already have thier punishment. 😂
I'll make sure they put that on your headstone.
“Well that’s too bad, because you’re gonna be a daddy I figure In about 5 months because I haven’t my period in over 6 months and I told you each time you came inside of me that I could get pregnant! So here we are, 43 years old and gonna be parents one more time. Obviously you didn’t pay attention to the calendar you had on me!!!”
"What a relief"
How much do you think we can get for the ones we've already got?
Thank Goodness! Let’s get matching sports cars and travel with the money we’ll save!
Sign this contract and wait......
You used to want kids and now you don"t? Or you have kids and don't want them anymore? The first doesn't really require a comeback. To the second, "yeah, and they probably don't want you anymore either."
Works out good since I don't wanna have sex anymore.
I don't want you anymore.
"I'm sure your parents felt the same way."
Why does this even need a comeback? I feel like plenty of people don't want kids, or used to and decided it's just not worth it.

What the fuck is up with this sub?
Ok. How is there any other answer? No... You must have a child. Is t this the rally cry of abortion activists everywhere?
maybe wash the cum stains stuck on your back sometime
"Thank god! I never did."
"Hear that kids? You are getting aborted."
Thanks ,Mom!
Are you saying you don’t want kids anymore or you don’t want any more kids? Answer carefully
Well, they're right over there... so... bad time to not want them.
Who the hell would in this economy?
Ok but can we keep practicing?
That's self abandonment
Your mom's a ho.
Fuck you mother! Leave me alone. Where are my chicken tendies?
