I dislike being around children when they are noisy (and I have quite a low threshold for "noisy", of children, and I don't believe any child is consistently not-noisy); I certainly don't want to be responsible for anyone's wellbeing except my own, except to a degree with adults who can provide mutual support - especially in the way that a child does, with little or no opportunity to take time off; I don't want my spare time and money, which are stretched quite thin by my existing interests, further consumed; and while I still find babies quite cute, I don't have that reaction to older children, and I find most teen and young adult behaviour very unpleasant.

I already felt like this at 22 or so when I was dating LNR - which was when it became an issue that actually needed consideration; I suspect from around age 17. I certainly knew before I knew there was a word for it, in spite of the usual childhood stuff that assumes everyone will have a het marriage and kids.
