Yes, I worked as a teacher's aide at a high school this past school year, lol. Also, I like to sleep in on my off days, I hate being tied down, I'm spontaneous, I like keeping my money for myself, I like to travel and I wouldn't like all the responsibilities that comes with being a parent. Getting married is the extent to which I plan on going.
Seriously dating/living with a man that had children when I was 34.
I had always just assumed I'd have kids, wanted them, and was starting to panic the older I got. From age 27 to 34, I had only dated one man seriously (longer than a couple of months), so I'd never in my life dated anyone who had kids to where we were together long enough for me to actually meet the kids. I had always said that I wouldn't have kids after 35 due to increased risk to mom and baby, and I met my current boyfriend 2 months before I turned 34. He told me early on that he didn't want more kids, and I was conflicted, because I knew that my time was almost up. I was taking some time to think about it, and had been spending time with his daughter...and over time, I realized that I no longer had any desire to have children and devote every second of my life to their whiny whims. His youngest daughter is, to say the least...difficult.
I turned 35 and got an IUD, to ensure that for the next 10 years, I would more than likely stay childless.
I co-taught pre-school Bible School with my cousin when I was 14. I realized that I'd never enjoyed being around children, even as a small child myself. I completely lack any maternal/nurturing instinct. It dawned on me that not having children was an option (you know, because everyone always assumes while you're growing up that you'll have kids one day), and I chose it wholeheartedly. Fifteen years later, I have never waivered on that decision.
