My personal method on how to help save the world from overpopulation and stupid people

[justineybabe]

So, I have this ring on my left hand now, and I rather like how it looks there, and I really can't wait until a second one is placed there, but I know it will happen, sometime soon. So, as these things are happening in my life, I decided that I never want to have children. Jeff and I talked about it and we figured the world has enough people in it, we don't need to bring anymore people into it. It would selfish and a disadvantage for the greater population. Adopting is super, it's a great way to help everyone out in the long run. But honestly, what do children really do for you? You worry about them, and they hate you. You set rules and standards and they feel as if they are not appreciated. You try your hardest to be the best parent you an be, and your children try their hardest to impress you and no matter what, both parties always end up disheartened and lacking encouragment. I figure I'll just save myself some energy, some money, and some time, bnot having them. Think about it, you get married, you're happy, you and your spouse can do what you want when you want, but one night, someone forgot something and nine months later you're chained to the rocking chair with a baby in your arms and your trip to Italy has been cancelled. Damn, that sucks. That will not be me. I'll watch your kids, I'll be a godmother, but I don't want to keep them. Maybe, when I'm 35 or 40, and I've been the free-spirit that I am for long enough, maybe at that point I'll adopt a child, maybe even two, but there is no way in hell I'm going to start a family right after I get married. I'll get some dogs, and some cats, and Jeff and I will play house, and take trips, and see the world, and we'll bring the dogs with us, the cats can stay home. But other than that, besides my pets, I don't think I'll really have a void in my life, Jeff and I keep each other pretty happy, we keep each other entertained and content, and I like that. I want to have a career. I want to do something with my life. If I bring a child into this world, that child will be my responsibility, I won't send my child to a babysitter, I'll take care of my child. I don't think it's responsible of a parent to always pawn their child(ren) off on other people, whether it's a babysitter, or a grandparent or aunt/uncle. No matter what, if you're going to bring a child into this world, you better be prepared to take care of that child. It's not one of those things were you say, oh yeah, I want one! and then decide that you really don't, you can't just get rid of kid. That child is your responsibility until he/she has graduated from college. So, with that in mind, I think that I would rather be responsible for myself, and do what work I can to make the world in which I live a better place, and if in time I do realize that I want to have a family that consists of more than just, Jeff, myself and some pets, at that time I will adopt a baby. I would rather give an orphaned baby a home than bring one of my own into the world.

I'm not sure what my motivation for this entry is, I just wanted to get all of that out of my system. I truly believe that adoption is the answer to many of our problems with over-population and orphanage. So, if all else fails, don't spend thousands of dollars on in-vitro fertilization, ADOPT.
