Childfree by Choice #2

See, I don't like dogs either. It's weird how many people assume you must have/love pets if you don't want children. Ummm, no thank you. I don't like those either.

Me neither. They’re fine and I can appreciate that some dogs are cute. But I don’t want them near me or to have to look at photos of them and pretend they’re hilarious or adorable or whatever. Cats are even worse for me. Maybe people assume you have to like animals if not babies otherwise we’re heartless!

This one confuses me too. I know people who legitimately don't consider that "trying for a baby." Many of them have actively stopped taking the pill, using condoms etc but still claim their pregnancies as a total surprise.

Two of my friends recently got married and are now off the pill however don't consider themselves as "trying" because they're not tracking when they're ovulating. But we're all supposed to be hornier when we are ovulating, right? So it shouldn't be a surprise as long as they're not actively preventing.

100%.

I was the same, I always assumed I would have kids, but I am nearly 32 and have yet to find the desire. What was his reaction when you said, no to kids?

Well I said ‘I’m not sure if I want kids and I don’t know if I’ll change my mind’ and that’s what he said in reply

If you are adamant kids it a firm and final no, I think you need to be straight with him. From personal experience men need it spelling out to them.

Hmm well I’m not adamant, but atm it’s a no and a can’t guarantee I’ll change my mind, this is the problem

With regards to inheritance, am I correct in thinking you can just sign your home/assets over to the bank (or another more specialist company) and they’ll give you the cash, allow you to stay in your home till you die and then you can just spend all your money?

Or have I completely made that up
