I think that fact alone is what scared me away from being a mother.

Ha. I adore beautiful little ones. They make me smile.
I seem to attract them, just the other week i had a little boy grabbing my legs with a beaming smile on his face. Bless em’
Wont have any more children now at my age of 48. I feel too old and knackered lol.

I was always terrified of having kids.
The reason for not having them changed over the years, but it was just like a sixth sense really that I shouldn’t have them.
Then I was diagnosed at 39, and a lot of my feelings towards kids made sense.

I am honestly glad you were not a mother. The damage you would have done…

I didn’t have kids because of ME. I grew up in a toxic household and don’t know how to relate to people in a healthy way, I would never want to do to a kid what my parents did to me

So am I glad. too. There is only so much improving things one generation can expect.
I don’t buy that. We all have free will and the ability to make better choices than those who raised us.
I was sterile, anyway.
I was supposed to be.
Whoops.
Children are cool- i don’t have any of my own. My sister has a few and I enjoy hanging out with them but it’s nice to be able to go home to a quiet house. It’s a lot of chaos at my sisters home…those kids are always in to something!
They need to be - it’s an essential part of development.
