Not now
It’s not like I totally abhor children but I can’t deal with having one at the moment.
This is what I replied to a friend who said “Why not have babies? I know I would be happy to have one now.” (This came from a guy 3 years my junior, mind you).
Why not babies? Coz :
1. Babies are expensive.
2. Babies are too much work.
3. Babies cramp my lifestyle.
4. Babies just suck the energy out of you.
5. Babies are noisy and need to be fed every few hours and crap shortly after, resulting in the need for multiple diaper changes throughout the day.
Recently met up with a couple of friends who have children of their own and listening to their problems with breastfeeding and all that is enough to turn me off having my own.
I seriously salute working mothers who have the energy to go to work and come home to take care of their kids. Not to mention the discipline to eat well to supplement their milk production and to express their milk at work.
People say motherhood is the pinnacle of a woman’s life (is it?) but I am not getting it.
Sounds like more trouble than it’s worth. Doesn’t help when society implies that it is a woman’s DUTY to bear babies. How come society doesn’t say that it is men’s DUTY to remain faithful to their partners and not be led by what’s in their pants?
I shall let my family and friends tell you about me. These comments may be rather old but I think the gist of them still hold
