Absolutely
I honestly cringe when I see people my age with babies. I know, stuff happens, and it does seem like majority of them are good parents but I just can't help but be narcissistic about the whole thing. I get it, some people are just naturally more maternal, but god you have got your whole life ahead of you. I don't know. I just cringe at the idea of even having a baby right now in my life.
I have yet to be around a marriage (except maybe one) that has lasted when you get married before 21 and start popping out babies. I'm sure they exist but I am in a world surrounded by broken families and marriages and honestly? it's no fun... then you have a bunch of miserable single 30 and 40-some year olds that have kids to think about. A lot of my moms friends were all good moms back when I was young, in the 90's, and then they separate, etc, and begin going thru their 'selfish' phase in their 30s and 40s when their children need them.
My dad isn't in a happy marriage, (his 2nd) but he's got a son with her, what is he going to do at this point? He hates Maryland but he doesn't want to leave as long as I'm here, and my brother is in school here. He has a business that he hates that he began when he was 18 with his brother. He's kind of 'stuck' here for all intensive purposes. I meet a lot of folks like this and honestly the idea of being stuck anywhere doesn't appeal to me. I WANT to be able to move whenever/wherever I want, if it comes up, I don't want to have to find babysitters if I need to do something.
Too much work lol. Again maybe I will change my mind, who knows. But for now this is how I feel.
