Totally not art related, but this is the only social media I really use and I wanted to get people's opinion on this.
What do you think about having kids? My husband and I have been married three years and together for seven.
People, especially those who don't know me well, are always asking when are we planning on having kids. My answer; barring an accident- never.
Do you think that's weird? I mean, I'm 26 years old. I think if I was gonna feel maternal, I would by now.
I never babysat growing up, my younger brother was only two years younger than me.
I have a 2 yr old niece I love to pieces, but they live an hour away and I don't see her much during the week.
I think maybe I'm too self centered to be a parent.
Not saying that you cant have a life when you have a child, but I don't know if I would always be able to put their needs first,
which is how I believe a responsible parent should behave. The only reason I'd want a kid at this point is so my husband would have one, but he's kind of ambivalent.
I remember growing up, one of my older females relatives couldn't have children. As a kid, I thought it was so weird. All adults I knew had kids.
(maybe it's because I'm from the deep south, it's 1. Get married 2.Get pregnant 3. Get pregnant again 4. etc.)
Now it seems more people aren't having kids. I mean, if I was gonna want to have kids, I getting kinda old, right?
Did any of ya'll have kids later in life after thinking you wouldn't?
On a related note, I work with the public on a daily basis. Also, I'm kinda chunky, around 170.
If one more person asks me 'How's the baby?' meaning they think I am pregnant, I'm gonna scream.
My friend said I should say 'Oh, I just had a miscarriage...'
Bet they'd never ask another woman again.
I don't get mad. I just say 'Oh, I'm not pregnant- it's fat'
Then I watch them squirm

I had my son at 26 (he's now 16 months old) and even though I knew I wanted to have kids, I'm a very independent person and was never all gushy over babies either. In fact, I had a very hard time dealing with the infant stage, where your whole world revolves around a small being that depends on you 100%. It's a scary thing to transition to being a mom, but even if you don't think you are very maternal, you probably would still do just fine. When it's your baby, it changes you. I also discovered I have infinitely more patience now then I ever thought possible.
Donīt pressure yourself too much. I can tell you about my mother. She didnīt concern herself very much and she got me when she was 40. So thereīs time
Maybe some year the "inspiration strikes you" because of something, but you have heaps of time to change your mind - or settle in your beliefs. Whatever shakes your boat.
Haha I don't even know you, but I have several of your things favorited. I wanted to comment because I've been married for almost 3 years and I've been wondering the same thing. I do want to have kids, but I think how much easier life would be without them financially and we wouldn't be able to travel till they're older. I'm only 22 so I wish I didn't have these instincts till after I experience life a little more.
I have babysat before but sometimes I think I am only good with kids who are the ages of 7 and up
I understand that you don't want any children. There are alot of people who want that decision b/c of what you are feeling. It is all okay
