My family keeps pressuring me to have kids. Now, I don't dislike children. I love my nephews. I love playing with them, fighting with them, arguing with them, and I especially love helping them do things behind their parents' back. I'm not a responsible human. I'm just not.
I pour myself a bowl of cereal, and eat half of it. Leave it on the counter to get gross.
I don't clean my cat's litter box when it should be cleaned, why should I have a child!?!
I don't want one. I don't need one.
Case closed. Bring in the dancing lobsters.
Yet some how, that isn't enough for her. Why do other parents guilt people into having children. I know misery loves company, but can you not?
This article should be factual information and examples from my life as to why I would be a bad parent. But I don't need facts or examples, At least I shouldn't need them.
Having a child isn't the default, not any more at least. My life will be fulfilling without children. My life will be filled with irresponsible choices that affect me and other adults prepared to face consequences. My life is just that. It's my life. I don't want to have children, so stop telling me I have to have them. Whether it be saying I'll adopt eventually, or saying we could have surrogate.
What it boils down to, is that I don't want kids because I still am one. I like being childish. I like making poor life choices. I like being irresponsible.
Just call me Peter Pan, because I won't grow up.
