I dont understand what everones OBSESSION is about having kids. Really it doesnt seem that glamourous. So I just spayed my little girl and posted pics on my facebook and my aunt was sad I took away her 'womanhood" but I explained after working at the shelter and seeing animals die from overcrowding I just couldnt breed and I added that If I could spay myself I would. Of course this set off my mom who also wants me to have kids and now they are both harping on me! My aunt said I should at least have one so as to not to break my Mom's heart. REALLY?? I should have kids becouse my mom wants grandchildren? Sorry but last time I check that was not a sufficient enough reason to have kids. Even if kids was a possiblity in the future I'm not going to tell her, then every time I saw her itd be "so are you having them now?" and I have pretty much decided that if I do have kids I'm adopting. I rather not do the whole childbirth thing and really I rather have a slightly older kid, like 2 or up because the whole baby thing doesnt appeal to me either. The crying and the constant need for attention, I mean why? Really kids dont get cool until they start to do things for themselves. And weather or not I decide to adopt or have no kids I am NOT basing my decision off my Mom's need for grandchildren. It's none of my aunts or my moms or anyone elses buisness weather I have kids or not and the more they bug me about it the more it makes me NOT want to have kids. I just hate the whole stigmata surrounding having kids. Society acts like first comes love, then comes marraige, then comes a baby in a baby carrage. Like really are we 5 still? I'm not even Married yet. Sure me and my BF are planning the next step but that doesnt mean we are going to get married and immediatly have kids. I want to travel, I'm still young.
Anyways sorry for the rant, had to get that off my chest. |
OMG you took the words right out of my mouth!!!
I've never wanted to have kids. I've always thought there are so many bad parents out there, and kids who live in foster homes who don't have a real family, i would rather try and help out one of those than have a kid of my own. The only reason
I could understand that people would want kids is to see their own genes carried down. Purely selfish reason. (of course after you had said kid, the good parents are completely selfless to take care of the kids) So I also feel the same way about animals. Why breed them when there are plenty in need of good homes?
I'm so glad my parents don't pester me about having kids. I have an older sister and they already know they aren't getting any grandkids out of her. Both me and my younger brother also don't want kids. I'm 31 and I've been with my bf for almost 10 years, no plans on marriage (don't even get me started on that! LOL, plus I am against diamonds)
But if I ever DO have a baby, this is the carriage I want. See I just want the accessories and not the baby.

Or I can just use it for Uni.
