When I tell people about what I want to do with my life they’re supportive and encouraging. Except when it comes to one thing. When I say that I don’t think I’ll ever want kids people have this idea that I’ll change my mind when I get older.
First it was “once you’re grown up you’ll change your mind”. Well I’ve been grown up for quite some time now but that change of mind still haven’t happened. Now I wonder exactly how old I have to get before people can trust that I actually know how I want to live my life.
Sure, many people change their mind about kids as they grow older. I seriously doubt that I will though. There are several reasons to this.
First of all I don’t like kids. Never have, never will. They don’t amuse me and I’m not the funny aunt type who kids like. I’m like that old aunt I have who wasn’t mean but never bothered to really talk to me and my siblings more than necessary.
Second of all I like my lifestyle. I enjoy being free without too many responsibilities. I dream about travelling the world, not settling down.
The third reason to why I don’t want kids is that I just don’t think I’d make a good mother. Sometimes it feels like I can barely take care of myself. How on earth would I be able to take care of a child? Even if I did want a child it would be selfish of me to have one when I don’t think I could care for one properly. I wish more people considered that factor because there’s so many people who aren’t suitable to be parents. I’m not. Perhaps I could be but right now I’m definitely not.
No, I’m pretty sure about this. I’m not the mothering type. When I grow old I won’t be a grandmother. I’ll be the crazy cat lady living in a cottage in the woods with ten cats.
