We realize that there is a possibility that we'll change our minds, but we just don't see it happening. I sure as hell don't see it happening. Do I want to give up my body for childbirth? No. Do I want to give up my dreams in exchange for raising a child so "it'll all be worth it in the end?" NO.
Heh. 2 kids, in my 40's and my body kicks a thousand flavors of ass.
The fact that you seem to need endless amounts of validation and attention only further reinforces the notion that you are still quite young and immature. Perfectly normal. The fact that the first thing that comes to mind about why you wouldn't have kids is your body reinforces that you are selfish and worry about the wrong things. Again, perfectly normal. You're a child, all of it is expected and perfectly fine.
You just don't need to keep making endless threads and comments because frankly, nobody is going to take you seriously or give you all the validation and accolades you desire because you are a child. Nothing more, nothing less.
"Neither did I" says the married SAHM of two boys who fell wildly in love with her husband he minute she met him and chucked all her high minded idealism out the window.
That's great for you, but I can't see myself doing that. Which is why I'd be cool with that if I never marry (which is another possibility that I'm
cool with). I'm not saying I don't WANT to marry, I just don't think it's gonna happen. Plus I'm nowhere near being ready for that.
I'll listen to a lecture on the TOS when I get one from the mods, not from you, missy.
Okay, here it is. I said this earlier in the thread, but you might not have seen it. Someone asked why childfree people have to barge into parenting threads; why don't they just post their own threads?

Sometimes people who are adamantly anti-relationship post there, and I would not tell them, "Don't post here--it's only for people who are in relationships."
This is a forum for Parenting issues, and that includes not liking kids, not wanting to be a parent, not liking one's own parents, etc. I do feel that people can be brash and insensitive in the things they say, but that goes for all points of view.

Don't forget the brash and insensitive part, though.
Yeah. Sorry about that.
