I Don't Want Kids

[c=#4C0073] Children will always be a great thing to have. Reproduction is good. However, I myself, do not want children of my own.

So why do people close in your life feel like it's necessary to say, "Oh YOU'LL CHANGE YOUR MIND".?[/c]

Here is my reasoning behind this; I don't want to make the lifelong commitment of taking care of something. I already have a dog and that's a big commitment for me. I already have nieces and nephews and I'm great with them, so that's enough for me.

When a baby cries it gives it me the WORST anxiety. I can't handle the stress of a baby screaming and unhappy/ or in pain. There's different cries, (when it's hungry, tired, or needing a diaper change), but when those middle of the night screams that happen every once in a while, and nothing seems to help, my mind is in panic mode. I literally helped my sister calm her son down once, but I didn't want to do it, I wanted to get in my car and drive somewhere to get some sleep, cry and scratch myself.

But I know her being a new mother it's not easy to handle alone, and she's just like me except she doesn't show her emotions/anxiety the way I do. So I had to help.

I don't think pregnancy is fun. All the cute mom's out there who had a cute baby bump, are all beautiful, glowing angels. But for me, I would literally hate the 9 full months of nausea, exhaustion, and pain all the time. I've grown through a miscarriage when I was 20, and I was 17 weeks pregnant. My ex and I's plan was to put it up for adoption, however the little person never made it. It was sad but also I hated being pregnant. I never felt good. On top of that, miscarriages are the most PAINFUL things to pass, when your body is trying to get rid of it.

I never want to have children. I would have a million dogs before I give birth. Maybe, MAYBE when I'm much older, I'll adopt if I get lonely but I can't deal with the anxiety that I've dealt with handling someone else's child. That's the worst anxiety I'll ever go through.

I don't think you know how many people have not wanted kids but had them anyways.

@FearfulHarmonyReborn I hear you on that.
But I wrote this referring to me, and the reasons why I don't want children.
