As I grow older, I encounter more and more questions about kids. Let’s get one thing straight - I never had any maternal instincts nor have I ever wanted kids. They were never in any future plans and still are not. In fact, I don’t even like kids! I absolutely hate when people say things like “oh but you will change your mind” blah blah or when they try to almost force it! It’s absolutely ridiculous. Long story short, I want to start a thread of reasons not to have a child as I was recently asked for reasons. Well I already have over 100. Please feel free to continue in comments or reblogs.

Thinking about that ‘children shouldn’t be an obligation’ post still and just-

My mom wanted my brother and I. She wanted a boy and a girl. Dad wanted a girl so he could give her the name he gave me.

My parents aren’t together anymore but /fuck/ knowing I was wanted, AM wanted, is probably what makes our family closer than most of the people around us.

I’m pretty sure than my grandmother /didn’t/ want my mom and that stuck with her in little ways that I sometimes still see.

And maybe that’s why they arent as close as mom and me.

Children are people the moment they’re born. They deserve to be wanted and loved, if you can’t give them that, if they’re just an item on a checklist for you, don’t have them. Please don’t have them.

When someone tells me that they are pregnant, I don’t know if I should say congratulations or I’m sorry.

pets really just find stuff on the floor u didn’t see n start chewing on it

- I'm sorry for bothering you with all of this, I know you're probably busy, but honestly you're one of the people I respect the most, plus you're one of the smartest and.. Solid? Enduring? Yknow what I mean, which! Is why I'm sure you'll do fantastic in your exams ^^ I'm actually gonna start an engineering course later this year, Ive gotten a 3d printer so now I can finally fabricate all those crazy ideas I've had >:3c (I'm learning how to make clocks rn). Sorry again for bothering ya! - G

- literally everybody I know is telling me to just tell him, or ask him out on a date but I don't wanna be overwhelming, I might be seeing him in person again in like, 3 days, and I asked if he'd like to spend some time together and he seemed excited but said he was really busy so finding the right time might be tricky.. We've called each other cute and he heart reacted to me saying "I'll speak to you another day fine sir~!" and I got all flustered bfhbfg >< and that's awesome with exams! - G

Okay so, I haven't *actually* said anything to this guy about my feelings, we talk kinda infrequently, he's this really sweet and cute goth guy who's on the same wavelength as me with anarchy, he's autistic and aaa idk.. I haven't really felt this way about someone in like, 6 Years? I feel like I've improved a lot as a person but I'm just stuck thinking about him all day, any conversation I have, I end up bringing him up accidentally.. Do you have any thoughts on how I should proceed..? - G

Heya! Okay so, I won't beat around the bush, I met this guy who's really really cute, like, stupid cute, he's this goth anarchist with an amazing sense of fashion, but he's also really sweet and smart. I've been all muddled up the past week because I haven't felt this wibbly wobbly in a real long time, I could ramble more but I just wanted to get that out the way because aaaa ;; sorry, ahem, how've you been! What've you been up to! hope you're taking care and eating well n all - G

Happy birthday G 🎂 I truly wish you all the best

Hi, haven't spoken in a while, but I hope everything's alright with you and your family with everything going on in Eastern Europe rn, I might be worrying over nothing but y'all stay safe ♥ - G
