I get a lot of people tell me that I will want kids someday. That I'm young and I may not want kids now, but someday that maternal instinct will kick in.
I hate those people.
I know I'm young. I'm 21. But I know beyond all doubt that I will never have kids...
1.) I really don't like them. They are gross, loud, annoying, and they don't listen. I can't even babysit my niece and nephew.
2.) I like being an Aunt. I can see me niece and nephew, spoil them, love them, and the best part: I can give them back.
3.) I will graduate college in 2 years and plan on getting a career.
4.) I like my life the way it is.
5.) Were I to even consider kids, I would want to wait until I am financially stable enough to support them. And by my standards, I would never make that kind of money.
6.) I really don't want to be responsible for another life.
7.) This isn't a reason per se, but I don't feel that it is my duty as a woman to have children. Nor do I feel that a woman needs kids to feel whole or feminine. Many people seem to have this mentality and I find it to be primitive, sexist thinking. People are too intimidated by a strong, independent, childfree woman.
8.) Did I mention I don't like kids?
9.) I have enough back pain as it is.
10.) I just don't want them. How hard is that to comprehend?
