I’ve lost friends because I don’t want kids…
OK.
I’m being dramatic;
it was just one friend.
Inspired, I address various responses I receive:
First is the typical You’ll change your mind.
Say that to a woman wanting kids: No; I’ve always wanted kids! is a suitable rational.
Thanks, double standard.
Second AKA my absolute favorite is What if you fall in love?
Bitch, if I fall in love, it’s going to be with a man who doesn’t want kids either.
Nice to meet you, Compatibility.
Third, God tells us to.
Okay, fine. If humanity rests on my procreation, I’ll have a damn child.
But I still won’t want to.
For the record.
Occasionally, a rare gem simply asks Why not?
And in the midst of my elation, I forget that my reason dissatisfies them:
I just don’t.
If a beating heart is going to depend on you for every need,
you should want to cartwheel at the thought.
And the bitch writing this never cared to learn.

I love this. If you don't want kids, than don't have one. Not every person is meant to have children- Heck, most people who have kids, shouldn't have had one in the first place. And this is why we are still best friends.

Hah! That's so awesome! When I was dating my husband, one of the first things I told him was that I didn't want to have kids. And he looked at me and said, “perfect! Because I don't either!” Next month will be our 20th anniversary. And nope. No kids!
