My thoughts on pregnancy and children.
No and no.
Especially not pregnancy. There are so many things not good about being pregnant, the first and foremost of course being the fact that your body will be distorted for at least a few months, if not forever *shudder*. I do think pregnant belly is cute on other ladies, but it's not for me at all. I think I'd be too obsessed with not showing ever that I'd kill the baby prebirth. Also, permanent vagina distortion. People tell me that it regains its elasticity. But I doubt that. If you push a pumpkin through your vagina, it's pretty much ruined for life. No thanks. And the alternative is worse: the c-section. Those permanent ugly ass scars. Ew.
Thirdly, pregnant period woes. i hate my period. And I don't want to do anything that would make it even more retarded-like. When I was not on BC or heavy drugs like vioxx and oxycodone to control my cramps, I was huddled in my bed wishing I would die so that my cramps would go away. When I wasn't in bed, I was in the bathroom vomiting. If I didn't eat, I'd get hunger cramps in addition to the menstrual ones. If I ate, I'd vomit more. Ah, the joys of my period. When I was in high school I cannot tell you how many times I seriously considered stabbing myself in the stomach to rid myself of the pain. One time i actually drew on my belly in marker, so I would know where to cut. I was planning on removing my uterus that day. Anyway, I can't have my period being disrupted. Who knows how horridly it will come back after its nine month hiatus? I'm not willing to take that chance.
Fourthly, I'd have to pass my crappy genes onto my child, if it were a daughter. My mom also had bad periods, and I wouldn't want to push that gene to another generation. Sometimes I get angry at her for giving me these period woes and I don't want that repressed anger to be directed at me.
Fifthly, stretch marks. Ewww. I already have enough, thanks.
Now, I don't want a baby for many other reasons:
1. SBS: Shaken Baby Syndrome. If you watch L&O, you know what this is cause this has been done to death on their shows. It's when someone gets so frustrated with a baby that they lose their mind and shake the baby, and the baby dies. It just seems like something I would do. babies cna get really annoying. And what if I have one of those that don't stop crying ever???! AAAHH!
2. Divorce plans. I think I'll likely get divorced at least twice, and my biggest fear about that is getting stuck with the children. In the past, I was planning on just proving myself to be an unfit parent so it wouldn't be an issue, but what if the guy flees? Then I'm screwed! Forget about dating, or doing anything EVER until the kid's 18. No thank you.
3. Not a good idea, financially. Now I am quite the budgetary retard. I really really like spending money. A lot. And I just see myself saying something like, "hmm actually you're going to have to take an extra loan this semester cause I want this here purse sweetie."
4. Dirty stinkin' diapers. EW GRoss. and when they're pottie trained, you still have to wipe their doodoo for a few more years. Ew. and clean up their vomit and stuff. grosso.
Now if I get forced into motherhood by my husband, we'd have to look into adoption. Then I woudl adopt an older kid, at least 4 or 5, hopefully preteen ish. But preteen would be hard cause kids who are still in foster homes by that age tend to be messsssed up. Whatever though. No diapers.
Furthermore, I'm a teacher, and I will be for a long time (well, at least a year). So I'll have like 100 kids a year. Do I really need more?
I told someone that I didn't want children (someone whose name I won't mention cause this entry is public, but you know since he's been in pretty much every other entry since october), and he was like that is so weird. but dude, it so isn't, especially with all those reasons! THe only good reason I think to have kids is so that someone can take care of you when you're old and decrepit. Which, granted, is a really good reason. I still have to figure that one out.
