aw Nova is a cute name

[elevatorshaker]

It's a fad name. Last five years I've heard of like 5 kids named Nova. If you're into astronomy, choose something else.

fine with me! all names should be based on astrology

[elevatorshaker]

Astronomy.

NGL I've looked into adopting as a single woman. I'm not gonna pretend i care enough about dating to prioritize that in my life especially with how horrid dating seems to be

[amor143x]

My sister is single and adopted. Now I have the cutest most adorable niece and she has solidified my desire to NOT want kids lmao she’s a qt bb monster 😂😭😭🥰

[sanditar]

Me but with my bff and her kid. I adore her, I'm obsessed and she's my baby but being a whole mom, no thanks

[citiesofnight]

Same! I love my nephew to death but he’s definitely shown me I couldn’t hack it 😂

[sandstorm]

Since that's what she wanted, great, I hope that doesn't happen to me

[theactualworst]

Lmao same

I'd sooner slit my own throat than ever change my mind about it lol

Thankfully I'm very confident in how I feel about it.

Lol mte, I love not having kids.

Honestly, I don’t understand how people still have children but 👍🏼 to those. Maybe it’s just the people I am surrounded with but everyone I know looks MISERABLE after having children (at least for the first 4+ years or so) and all they do is complain.

We‘ll stick to having a dog, which is sometimes challenging enough for me 😅

The most accurate thing I've heard is that people love their kids but hate parenting. Raising kids in isolation from a wider family is rough.

[kerosene_pill]

Both my friends say ofc they love their kids but they don't like them and they fucking hate being moms.

[sarahvma]

I think there's plenty of space to talk about how blindsided a lot of women get by parenthood. There are aspects of "being a mom" that fucking suck because of how much I'm expected to shoulder perfectly, while my partner gets a gold star for showing up.

I get that that may not be what you're talking about, but I think in general it's more nuanced than whether or not they like their kids.

Having nieces and nephews is what definitely makes me see I don’t want kids. I couldn’t handle them full time. I’m not the type.

[lolzerz]

Sames, I absolutely love my niece and nephews but ive been on vacation with them and it literally never stops. Theres nothing desirable to me about it.
