It's very simple, either kids are for you or they are not, it's not something you have to do out of obligation, social pressure, etc. From the sounds of it, it seems like kids might not be for you, however only you can make that decision, no one else can. At least you are thinking about it, in a rational fashion, compared to those who don't even think about it and have kids anyways.
Personally, I have made the rational decision to not have kids. I value other things in life, such as my freedom. I'm free to do whatever I want, anytime I want, whenever I want. Also, I'm financially free from the burdens of rearing children, among other things. Some people find children fulfilling in their lives and that is perfectly fine and there are other people who don't find the idea of raising children fulfilling, which is also fine. Don't get me wrong, I love kids (especially when they are good), but not enough to want to raise them, or be responsible for them, for the majority of my life.
