New here, but have been dealing with this my whole life
Some people just know that they were not meant to have children. Some, like me, have always known it. Others come to that realization later in life - sadly, too many realize it after they have already had children.
I'd love to make a t-shirt some day with this printed on it:
1. I do not want children.
2. This does not mean I hate children.
3. This does not mean that YOU should not have children.
4. This does not mean that my parents were horrible parents; in fact, they were wonderful.
5. I am not being selfish - I am being self-aware.
6. I also do not want a horse. Would you insist that I get one?
7. I am not hurting anyone with this decision.
8. You are no better nor worse than I for making a different choice.
9. I am not sad, resentful, or disappointed over my decision. Why are you?
10. I will not regret this decision in the future. Can you say the same?
