On the Subject of Sprogs
Okay, I'm taking a course at uni called "Sociology of Reproduction", and there I am exposed to all the horrors of the biological processes involved in reproduction. The lecturers are very good and and do an excellent job of keeping the horrific parts from being scarring.
All the same, this subject was further cementing my desire to never have kids.
Tonight I can add another reason for not wanting to be a parent (apart from having to suffer a pregnancy, giving birth, nappies, and the fairly solid belief that I'd be a lousy parent, among other things).
Tonight, I've been keeping an ear on my nephew who was sleeping in the next room while the rest of the occupants of the house were watching TV upstairs and I'm on the computer in my room. Poor thing had an absolutely horrible nightmare and it took a while for his mum (who I called down when a gentle shush didn't work like it had a couple of hours ago) to even get him to wake up. The relentless distressed cries of my nephew made my insides churn. I feel physically ill after this.
Yeah. Not good. I think I'm fairly safe from the prospect though, as there isn't any sign of romance in my life at all anyway, and as the saying goes "it takes two to tango".
