So on Memorial Day I had to go to that family picnic thing at my Aunt's house. We got on the topic of teachers and I said I could never be one because I don't like children. My Step-Dad's cousin (who baby-sits hundreds of the little brats) and his Aunt nearly choked on their food. My Mom added "Yeah, she doesn't want to have any kids of her own.". Now, my Mom seems pretty cool with the idea that my sister will have to provide the Grandbabies, but I thought everyone at that table thought I was nuts. Than my Step-Dad's Aunt was like "Oh, that's a shame. Michelle (her daughter) wants kids so bad and can't have any." WTF does that have to do with ME having kids?! If I pop out a baby how does that change Michelle's situation?! I should have a baby so she can be jealous? GRR...people annoy me.
Why can't people understand that I DO NOT LIKE CHILDREN?! I have no patience when it comes to a drooling, snotty nosed, whining, crying, bratty little kid. I don't want to spend my 20's and 30's changing diapers, dropping off kids at soccer practice, and paying for them to go to college. It's my life. I want to enjoy it doing things I like. I want to travel, spend quality time with the future Mr. Right, and have a nice car and a nice house without having to worry about a baby ruining them. Sound selfish? Probably. But if I'm so selfish than I shouldn't have kids anyways. I don't want to put a kid through today's world anyways. I was made fun of in school, am terrified of all this nuclear weapons talk, and can see the world's overpopulation ruining the earth. Sounds like a GREAT place to raise a child in, huh?
