I figured this would qualify as a stress topic, lol...
I always thought of wanting kids someday. But someday has pretty much turned to now. I don't know if I want kids anymore... I mean, the massive amount of responsibility!! That is true commitment. I have dealt with other people's kids, and I don't know if I want to actually deal with them at all stages of life! Sounds mean. I already come home stressed from my job of caring for other people. Then I'd come home to taking care of kids... not exactly stress-free, haha. I like coming home and plopping on the couch not having to deal with anything. I always thought people were selfish for not wanting kids and now I completely understand. I feel I might be too selfish! I'm starting to hate myself for it. I want my parents to be grandparents though. And I might regret not having kids someday... like when I'm 80 and have no kids or grandkids... I'd probably feel pretty darn lonely. I don't know.
Have you ever felt back and forth about having kids of your own... and just too darn scared to have kids??
