I know what you mean.
My family doesn't pressure me to have kids, but they at times appear to think I'm really strange for not even wanting to be around them. I cannot stand whining, crying very loudly, screaming, boogers and snot (baby or not, spit is still spit and snot is still snot and it is gross!), getting up during the night (? What's THAT all about?? lol), pacifiers (yucky). Then you send them to school and they pick up a whole bunch of nice things to say to their parents.
I'm a dog person.
I love my nephew to death. He is a precious boy. He cries/screams...LOUD. Five minutes of watching him..is enough to totally wear me down. Trying to rock him to sleep and screaming again?? WHY??
People think it's weird that I'd rather clean up after dogs than go hang out with kids. I guess I'll be the weird dog lady for now.
