My major is Early Childhood Education, I have two jobs: one at a center and one at a children's museum. Needless to say, I love kids. There's just one thing: I don't think I want any of my own.
I know that sounds crazy, like how could I, the woman that is going to be a teacher, not want kids of her own? Don't get me wrong, it is not like I have not thought about it, because I have. Parents I babysit for tell me all the time how I'll be a great mom someday; I just don't have the heart to tell them it might not happen. Every time they say how great of a mom I would be, I think about it and I think about how it would feel to have this little being that it half me and half the man I love. But then I think about all the negatives: I can barely afford my habits, how would I handle someone else's? That is so much responsibility, I hardly can handle the needs of my cat. Lastly, I will be with kids all day everyday, why would I want to come home to more?
People say, "Oh, it'll be different because they're your kids." I understand that, but here's the thing, I just do not think I am the type of person that should be a mom. Not everyone is meant to be a parent, and that's okay. Don't pressure me into this just because you think I will make a good mom, peer pressure is wrong, we all know that. Maybe when I get older, I will change my mind, but until then I am perfectly happy with being childless, so please stop judging me for it. Seriously, I don't even have a boyfriend people, calm down. Besides, if I become a mom, I might not be the cool aunt anymore.
