Yep. People thought I was gonna die if I had stayed in the hospital. My doctor told my mama to take me home. Glad he did because I survived the odds (thanks to mom of course ). | |

My mom went through a lot of stress with my dad's children, dad himself (not domestic violence, but verbal issues/arguments), and her own family. I'm thinking stress is one of the main factors that leads to premature births or SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). Thank God it was the former. My dad had a son named after me (Timothy) after my eldest brother was born but he died stillborn I believe. | |

My stepfather thought he could get physical too but he had four teenage boys to deal with. I had a couple of fights with him. Of couse, it's my mother pulling me off him. They seem to be past all that, but we're not close so I have no clue. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. | |

Serious said: jaimestarr79 said: I know it has to be really tough for a women. Some people act like how can a woman not a child. This is something my wife has to deal with all the time. I always hear what wonderful mom I would make because of how great I get along with kids and because of how much my niece always loved to spend summer with me and my ex. Still it is my own choice and not the business of everybody else. Yes yes yes. I hear this all the time and I feel very judged and looked down upon because I never wanted kids. I don't see why anyone even cares. "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

I don't feel "the need" to have kids either... From what i read, a lot of orgers don't want kids... Is it the Prince syndrome? I really don't feel such a "need" ... u know, by 'need', I mean that thought people have, "You have to have kids cause everybody does.".. Yeah, So if everybody decide to jump off the bridg, I'll have to do it too? Screw that herd mentality... And I love when they say "That's so selfish! You are so selfish for not wanting kids!"... I don't know what's more ridiculous : Being selfish to somebody who doesn't/will never exist?? Or thay implicitly admit I'm happier without kids since I'm the only one enjoying MY life?? I love other people's kids... I love playing with children, so the girls I've been with always thought I'd be a good father or I was ready to raise children. I don't... If was living in the early 1960s, I'd thought the world would be good for my child. But in these crazy/wild/unstable times, having a kid seems foolish to me, we're living in such a fucked up world! Everybody is somebody, but nobody wants to be themselves. | |

nah, I think it's because the ones WITH kids haven't got the energy to get involved in org arguments | |

I get asked this all the time by family too. Just because I'm single, independent and not married then something is "wrong" with me. I'm 28 and my family are acting like time is running out for me. Even when I broke up with my boyfriend a few months ago, they were all asking "well is there any chance that you guys will get back together"? Umm no for what? I've already explained that we weren't right for each other, but just because my family LOVED him...I was supposed to settle, go get him back and continue on settling just for them. NO NO AND NO. I refuse to settle for just anyone just to please other folks and therefore my family will just have to mind their own business. Besides, a few, if not most of my family members are UNHAPPILY married to folks that they married just because their parents pushed them into it. Had kids they weren't ready for and now unhappy as hell. I refuse to be like that. SMH. It's always the family members who can't control their own lives that always seem to have some unwanted advice for your own life. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

It's not always an easy concept to learn, keep, and understand (that includes me), not everything you think needs to come out of your mouth. As others have mentioned it's no ones business why anyone makes a decision not to have a child or children. It's rude, for people to pry. Genesia advise, one shouldn't respond to such inquiries in my opinion is the right course of action. Live let live....
Not everyone wants children or marriage; Lord knows not all women are dying to have babies either. My /our personal beliefs, we really didn't see the point of being married if we weren't going to have a family but that's our opinion. People have different beliefs and value systems, it takes all kinds. .
