No matter how I look at 'em, I just don't feel anything too strong or fuzzy towards them. I get what makes 'em so fancy, but the Instagram tinted glasses just aren't there.
Maybe games like The Sims ruined any illusions I had when I was little and now they're forever associated with eventually getting a child that wears a dopey wizard hat 24/7.

They're an innocent gift from God, Kitty! *dazzle dazzle* You'll understand and change your mind when you're older.

Or so I've been told. At almost 20 (egads) if I haven't figured it out now I probably never will.

No, you don't understand. I like children, I want children, it's the whole mating thing I'm whiffy about.

I saw that in a True Life episode once except it was a regular turkey baster.

That's the general idea. I could adopt, of course. There's plenty of people out there who would only be too happy to breed for me, but I've got some nice genetic material over here.
Of course, first I need to be trusted not to die myself if left alone for a weekend. I've made it up to "stays on tumblr for fifty hours straight and starves to death" from "cuts the doubt from my arms with a rotary cutter" so that's progress. cat_smile

I want children but the whole potty training thing just doesn't seem to fly well with me.

My boyfriend even admitted that he's going to be useless until they hit the age of 4 and start talking in (quasi-understandable) sentences.

Well, I can see the appeal of them before they start moving on their own. True, you do need to change them, but as faeces go; milk based faeces isn't that bad.

Potty training doesn't phase me, it's the drool. I have a weird aversion to spit/drool/spittle, so I told hubby they are his once they start teething.

Even if I wanted one I would refuse to raise a kid in this world until it started healing itself, and all of the evil in this world was lessened by about 900% Imagine people actually giving a damn about each other. That would be great. That... or I got my own Persona. emotion_awesome His name is Brase. He's a gentlemanly kind of ninja from down yonder. Slayer of jerks... and bears... and bear jerks... emotion_dowant

The big whoop about babies is the fact they are pretty much your literal lifeline. Every moment your kid has is a part of you. You stop caring about everything else and one can only assume you get caught up in the miracle of life and the fact that said baby came from you. If you had a baby it might take a while to hit you, but it will eventually. I think that thought kinda triggers when you see your kid and it's not necessarily like the thought that babies are great if that makes any sense? I don't know how to convey what I am trying to say cuz I am retarded but here's a Donald Glover quote:

Altered the time.

Not saying I favor aids over children in the slightest... just saying if you think about it, children are kind of a pain. Miracle of life aspect is... pretty much the charm regardless of who you are. Nobody really enjoys it when their kid is crying in the middle of the night or changing their diapers or... anything really.

We should move next door to each other and just trade kids. razz
