This topic mainly focuses on couples who choose to be childless. Since I was 12, the idea of pregnancy seemed like a nightmare. And it doesn't scare me much as it used to, I still don't like it. And I am not a big fan of babies.
But anyway. There will be couples who will have been married for like 5 years and had no kids, and even in the everyday world they are looked at as weirdos. How can you not want a baby that keeps you up all night?
Ok that last line was a little harsh. And I notice this pattern when everyone talks about becoming pregnant. We're having a baby! It seems like they only focus on snuggling and cuddling(which is great and all), and not thinking about when they get older.
I know everyone isn't like this.Boy I'm digging myself a hole. But it just bugs me. If a woman says she doesn't want kids she is looked at as some kind of "thing" and selfish. I think there's a high chance I may never want kids.
Not one of my own. I don't like babies. I don't like pregnancy. I know I know, there's that "time" when everything in my thought will change, but I've heard of people like myself who decided at ages around mine and didn't change their mind even into mid twenties.
I just kind of wish in the every day world a woman could say she doesn't want kids and not be looked at as selfish. And not have to be afraid of their preference. It seems so taboo for women, especially the ones with a BF or spouse, to say they don't want kids.
That is all.
