If nothing else, they probably see the way most parents treat those who don't want children, and figure if they said anything they'd get the same (but possibly even worse) abuse. Plus, then they may feel like people see them as bad parents. I know one parent like this personally. I'm practically the only person who knows he doesn't like having kids (he has 2), because back when he ever mentioned it to anyone, he'd be demonized and called a bad parent. So, now he keeps it to himself.
