Kids having kids

Poof! What?! I have children!? Ewww. I have no idea what I would do if all of the sudden I had two kids to care for. I would probably curl up into a fetal position and cry. You see, I never have the intention of having kids. Ever. Its weird. I like other peoples children, for the most part, but I never want any of my own. I grew up basically raising my younger brother and that was way more than enough for me. Plus, I'm way too young for that. I'm still a kid myself. I have a few friends from high school that I still talk to and it seems like their all married, engaged, pregnant, or already have babies. It freaks me out so bad. I'm not capable of raising a decent person. I don't think I'll ever get to that point actually, haha. I think I'm one of those people that would be better off never reproducing. I think I'll just stick to my cat, Oliver. He practically is my child, or at least he seems to think so. He needs me to feed him, give him water, give him attention, and clean up his messes. Plus, hes fluffy, which is way cooler than a peanut butter and jelly seeping kid. Blah.

You posted this at 12:34. :) Fish! You would be a good mom I think! You have a certain mom quality about you. Maybe it's just that you're going into the medical field and are gonna help people...Having kids is a weird thing. I always was really sure I'd have kids...now i dunno. I hope I do. Some people wait until "the right time", but it never comes,...then they are old and lonely...Family means a lot to me, plus it might be really cool to watch a little you grow up, ya know? It's kinda like you can be a kid again too. I worry i might be a bad mom...but I really would love it i think. there should be more yous-!!

I never want kids, either! I'm way too impatient and selfish for that. I seriously can hardly stand my nephewish thing (sister's boyfriend's kid. And don't get me wrong, I love him, I just don't like him very much.) and I only see him maybe once a week. I have a cat who is very much like my child and two ferrets who are even more so. I don't know, for some strange reason all of my maternal instincts are brought out only by animals.
Anyway, I'm glad I'm not the only one. Oh! And kids from high school getting married and starting families--seriously! Freaking insane! It really freaks me out. What's the rush, you know?

I like how you put your words. Almost every friend I have is married, babies or engaged. It freaks me out to. Right now I can only think about how I want my first house to look and how cool it is going to be to have a house someday. No kids are in the picture, only my cats and a dog. I had to raise my two little sisters as well and you are right, that will take away all wanting of haveing kids. I like your blog on this topic, it relates to mine a lot. I don't feel left out.

I agree. Maybe someday, but right now and for the next couple decades, no thank you! And maybe actually not ever. I think there are just some people that are better off not having kids. And maybe we're them! Of course, my mom said that she felt the exact same way before she had me. So who knows, I guess.
