so a lot of people (i wont name who) always tell me to at least prepare for a child if i accidentally have one. now you all know my gripe about having children, taking care of children etcetc.. but ya guys gotta understand me on this. i've done extensive research. i've taken family education classes. i've taken care of children! and of course the thought has crossed my mind about having a child. but after much though and discussion.. we're not having children of our own.
1) too much money
taking care of a child is hard enough. you have to spend money on their food, clothes, bedding, diapers, toys, education... "of course it's all short term though" WRONG. this carries into their teen years. prom? tutors? afterschool classes? extracurricular activites? dental plan? doctors? more clothes? their tuition? sorry guys i'm much too selfish to take care of someone else before me. i still have to take care of my parents when theyre old and grey. and what happens when they bite you after all that you've done for them? no. just. no.
2) loss of time
supposedly you'll cherish the time you have with your child.. but what about personal time? i've taken family studies and took care of a fake baby .. but that was already hard enough when you have another kid in the house. my niece of 8 years, i've taken care of my niece ever since she was a newborn. i've already lost a lot of my personal time. i missed out on a real childhood. i'm not about to sacrifice more of my time.
3) blood sweat and tears
think of all the physical and emotional pain you'll go through once you have a child! pre birth you constantly have constipation, and you'll feel fat and miserable. during birth youll go through 9 hours of pain in the abdomen that gradually increases and finally your tiny little vagina rips open and youll have to push a huge head out of it!! after birth you wont be able to get the rest you deserve, and when they get older they'll bite the hand that feeds them like little vipers!
4) too much abandoned children in the world
why am i gonna give birth when theres children who need parents? some say "to pass on your lineage and blood and name." i call bull on that. i'm not an animal, i dont need to breed. plus the world is way too overpopulated...
5) Is adoption an option?
maybe. if i ever decide to have a child i'm going to adopt one, give them a home, clothes, food, love.. hey they deserve love too. no abandoned child should ever feel unloved and unwanted. and if they need help finding their true parents then by golly i will help them find where they came from.
6) too young
guys face it.. i'm too young to have one. i still have my whole life to live. i still have goals to accomplish. i still have dreams to fulfil. i'm not ready to be tied down with a baby. i probably wont be ready. ever.
i've thought a lot about this. my parents fully support me on this. we've discussed this. decision is final.
No kids.
