Today, I finally found out why my girlfriend doesn't want kids. She discovered Rugrats recently and, after binge watching the whole series, decided that our would-be children would be too adventurous for us to handle. FML

Today, things were going great with my girlfriend of six months. She knew I had kids and it seemed to be getting serious, so I decided to introduce her to them. After dinner, I walked her to her car and she said, "That’s real nice but what are you going to do with them once you and I have kids?" FML
Today, my girlfriend blew up at me for a comment I had made several weeks ago about not wanting kids. Then, she told me that she's pregnant. After consoling her and telling her that whatever we do, we'll do it together, she further explained that she's not sure if it's mine. FML
Today, I found out that the one who got away just had a baby, and named it after me. My current longtime girlfriend and I already decided not to have kids. FML
Today, my mother-in-law confessed that my wife doesn't want kids because she wants to relive her teenage era when she obviously wasn't ready for it. However, I've always been told the reason was me being impulsive, unstable, and prone to outbursts when something frustrates me. Also, that's why she quit her job. FML
Today, after careful consideration, I told my wife I really want to have kids. She laughed, until she finally realized I was serious, at which point she flicked me in the balls and said, "Problem solved." FML
Today, I was told that I will never be able to have children. Thankfully for my husband, his girlfriend sure can. FML
Today, we saw a woman with two out-of-control children. As we walked away, my husband said to me, “Disgusting, I’m glad we’re never having children.” News to me, he'd always said he wanted a kid before we married. An uncomfortable conversation is imminent, damn it. FML
Today, I told my girlfriend I wanted to get married and have kids soon. She had a fit. Apparently it's creepy and freakish for a man to want a family, and it means I'm secretly a crazy religious fundamentalist. Huh? FML
Today, as part of my job, I had to watch a few 5 year-olds while their parents were busy with my manager. It only confirmed my choice to never have children, and yet my mother still insists I should have one, because once they exist and I love them, I’ll see how silly my choice to not have them is. FML
Today, my wife and I have been in the same massive argument for two weeks. We agreed when we were dating that we couldn’t think of anything worse than having kids, we married on the basis we would never want kids. Now, a year later, she wants a baby. FML

If she is just now discovering Rugrats, she isn't old enough to make a decision about having kids.

Be glad she doesn't want kids. Do you really want to have kids with someone who bases her opinions on a cartoon?

Haha. The two top comments at this time of posting say it all. Just commenting for the sake of it right now. They get all of my thumbs.

1) As a Sunday School teacher to the same set of kids past 7 years, be glad that she doesn't want any because even I want to punch my own students in their faces now and then that my relationship with my students' finally reached the point where if I were to ask them if I can, they just laugh, telling me how funny I am. 2) Tell her about the crack theory of how Angelica's doll represents her biological mother that's a crack addict and her mother in the show is actually her step-mom who's just all about business and money, where as the other babies are just all in her imagination.

It sounds as if your girlfriend is extremely stupid, immature, or just plain ignorant. I suggest you go find someone mature, somewhat intelligent, and who can use common sense to make decisions, especially if you intend to have children with them!

Run away as fast as you can. The last thing you need is someone who bases important life decisions on a ******* cartoon!

Like everybody else already said, she’s too young to even think about having kids if she just now discovered Rugrats. Unless she grew up in a country where Rugrats wasn’t localized in.

If your girlfriend is making life choices based on a cartoon then she obviously is way too young to think of having kids.
