Pretty uneventful weekend except my sister gave birth (I have 3 sisters – I know, it’s hard to keep track…). Mike and I went to the hospital and I was asked if I wanna stay for the birth, I politely declined and stayed outside the delivery room. I came in as soon as I heard the baby scream, he’s the cutest and fucking huge! Everyone was telling me Mike and I are next and asking when and shit. I fucking hate that.
So I’m sitting there with this new baby in my arms and as I’ve done many times before I’m trying to feel that feeling (almost) all women have – that they HAVE to have a child. I’ve been doing this for a while, pretty much since I met Mike. I never wanted to have kids, I know how hard it is on your body, your life, your relationship, your bank account and so on… I’ve seen every aspect of having a kid and it doesn’t attract me at all. One of the things I know is you really gotta want it. The thing is – if I felt like I wanted a baby, if I really wanted it – I would totally do it. But I don’t… Is there something wrong with me?

no, there is nothing wrong with you. I know a few women who are exactly the same way.
I have wanted kids since I was still a kid, but I worry that my job is going to so turn my stomach at the idea of family and children that I'll have to do a little dream editing...
there's nothing wrong with you at all! steve and I have gone back and forth about the child thing, and like I have said before, we are lucky to always be on the same page. and the majority of the time, we don't want one at all. I've held newborns and babies and toddlers of friends of mine. I've played - with much joy and laughter - with those kids. but I always seem to fall back into never wanting one. and I never did, from the time I was young.
it's different things for different people. nothing wrong about it in the least!
oh!! and many congratulations to your sister! LOL.
:)
Congrats to your sister!!!!!!
No, there's nothing wrong with you but you don't need me to tell you that. If it happens, it's meant to. If it doesn't, it isn't.
Holding other peoples' babies is no test, btw - another reason why there's nothing wrong with you. Sure they're cute, but they're not YOURS and you are not about to start the whole bonding thing with them, you know?
Anyway if you do have one, send pics.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL :P
Nothing wrong with you at all....it's a huge responsibility and it's actually refreshing to see someone not do it just because they think they should.
You're in the right frame of mind!
Congrats, new auntie! Hell no there's nothing wrong with you. Some people just don't want kids, and there is not a damn thing wrong with that. Kudos to you for knowing what you want and sticking with it.
Personally, I want one, dammit. I'm just holding out for the husband. Call me old fashioned, lol
Of course there is nothing wrong with you for not wanting kids. If you are meant to have them, you will. I never wanted them until I turned 30. Then WHAM! All of a sudden, my heart and soul just wanted one. I will say though, that it is hard on a relationship, but if you work as a team, it is actually a joy. Money, you can never fully prepare for a child unless you have tons and tons of money already.
Congrats to sis! There is nothing wrong with not wanting to have children. I wish more people who felt that way, didnt have kids cause the world might be less a few COPS episodes, ya know what I mean? It is perfectly healthy, and more power to you. I dont like kids. I want my own, but I dont like kids and I am known amongst my friends that I dont like kids, and I am ok with that.
Nothing wrong with not wanting kids. I never wanted kids. When I got pregnant, though, it was just the right thing for me to do at the time. I definitely do not want any more and I know that for sure. That's why I know that holding a baby means absolutely nothing. That's not something you should use as a litmus test, because when I hold one, sometimes I think "well, MAYBE". But it passes. NOT feeling anything is the same way. You're not a freak for how you feel.
Frankly I think people should be legally barred from getting all up in a person's face asking when they're gonna breed. Kind of like the asshole law on Robot Chicken. They ask, then the cops come in and beat them down.
Congrats on being a new aunt and Congrats to your sister.
