Look I don't want kids so just FUCK OFF! (27)

Glad you're feeling better, very good rant.

Life is a game, it just depends how you play it.
They will not force us, They will stop degrading us, They will not control us, We will be victorious.
The thread of fabrication will unravel with the hands of time.

I try telling people that I like my life as it is and have no wish to change things, but the majority still seem to think that as soon as I find the "right" man, I will suddenly become all maternal and spring into action!

I have no problem with anyone wanting children, as it is their right, but I wish peeps would also respect the decision of those who dont want them.

Admittedly, its a lot better these days, as I think a lot more women are now choosing not to have kids.

I dont have a quote so I'll leave this bit blank...........cos I dont want to use up space till I have something really good to put here

Yeah and I'm forever being told "When you find the right woman things will change!" Oh God, the fuckwits. It's all about conforming to society...

You have to be married, you have to have 2.2 children, a fucking great mortgage and weekly calls from credit card companies chasing debt!

Well sorry to disappoint you, society and family, but you can all fuck right off. In the meantime I'll live freely and do what the hell I want, with who I want, as and when I want!!

Forgive me Father, for I have sinned

Children are young humans.

And I too have never wanted either, but come to think of it I would rather have a goat instead of a child if I had no choice and had to have one or the other.

I first asked for sterilisation at 28 which was refused and had to battle for years to get a hysterectomy for physical health reasons but was turned down on the grounds that it was 'just in case I wanted children', only finally getting it at 47 when I retorted that if I didn't know my own mind by then, I never would.

My sister fortunately did the genes into the future job for which I am thankful as it took the pressure off me but the family and some friends still consider that I have lived less of a life because I didn't bring another into the world. Sis is a great mother, I try to do my best as an aunt but I just don't like children, can't relate to them, they bore me rigid and I am more than happy to avoid all contact with them.

You are not alone!

The nice lady with the whip.

I am more than the sum total of my dreams, for as I awake I can travel further in real time. You are only bound when you tie the knot.

It possibly helps that few of my friends have children either, though that's just starting now. I was surprised quite recently when, having expressed an interest in a relationship with a single bloke (everything up to now having been rather, er, non-standard and therefore not really lending itself to the having of children) my best friend got a bit child-evangelical for a good 30 seconds.

My raised eyebrow got my message across, I think, though it shall be interesting to see what happens when I do find myself in such a relationship... Frankly, as cute as her daughter is I am, deep down, terrifically annoyed when we go out for lunch these days. It's just not possible to share good conversation when a demanding two-year old is top priority. Ah well, it'll pass.

She recently relayed my lack of maternal ambition to my uncle, whose first thought was to ask me if I was a lesbian. Nice.

Nice. I've been accused of being selfish in the past, for not providing grandchildren!

So I'm supposed to go through life feeling guilty for not doing what others want, am I? Plainly, they're selfish for putting pressure on those that don't want children, in my view. That's simply unacceptable.

It's my life, and I'll make my own decisions.
