I was really young, about 5 or 6 - a friend was really excited about going to meet their neighbour's new baby later that day and I just couldn't understand why anyone would find a baby exciting. It was after that I started saying I wasn't going to have children and I never wavered on that. Now I'm 46 people have finally stopped askingWhen did you all decide that you weren't gonna have kids? I am 25 and as it stands i couldn't ever imagine having my own kid, but my friends and family seem to have a lot of opinions on that and say i cant say how ill feel in the future right now. I have quite an active schedule, i work full time and then spend most evenings exercising or socialising. Then i try and spend weekends away on city breaks and doing whatever i want.
I date men but i find them so fickle, and i feel like as a woman you are much more likely to be pressured to take all the childcare responsibility whilst the man does the bare minimum, and it is another story entirely if you split up i guess.
My reason is pretty much that i don't want to bring a kid into the world and resent it in any way for ruining what i have right now, which is a pretty comfortable, carefree life. I am one of the only ones left of my school year who's not got kids and i constantly get asked by some family members why im not with anyone and am i going to have kids. Annoying.
