Yeah, everyone says that, but the fact that i get sick when thinking of the very notion of being forced to care for a human being for 18-26 years, or more If life doesn’t pan out, makes me think that’s just not going to apply to me. 

I don’t like kids. I don’t enjoy being around them. I don’t think any of them are cute. I do my very best to be a decent uncle at family gatherings, but even though i love my siblings, that is strenuos and every time i am leaving more convinced that i do not want that shit in my life. 

Looking at the changes my siblings and their spouses went through, the hurdles they faced, i see nothing desirable about it. 

So i do not think it would be fair to a kid to gamble on my doing a 180 on the sight of my own child. 

The fuck do i do when that love doesn’t come? Put it back? Drop it off at the pound? Like there’s no reversing that decision. 

No Thank you, no matter how many times people post the ”i thought so too til i held my child in my arms”

Ok. Good for you, sincerely, but i ain’t willing to be a kids life and mental well being on me suddenly becoming a different person at the sight of a wrinkled piece of bloodied screams in my arms.

Honestly watching siblings/close friends have kids sealed the deal for me. I thought it would make me have baby fever but absolutely not. Their marriages are all in the gutter, they’re more often than not struggling financially, having health issues related to childbirth, health issues with the kids. I have one auntie who is childfree and she’s in her 60’s now. My whole family made so much fun of her and told her she would be miserable. Guess who looks 30 years younger than her siblings, is living a heck of a luxurious life on the coast of Italy with her husband who would die for her. Meanwhile the other couples in my family are roommates and their kids have moved out. Big LOL
