Subject: RE: tell us something we don't already knowautumn - 2006-11-09 10:38 AM i i have total respect for women who say 'i don't want kids'. a good friend of mine had her tubes tied at 35. amazing choice. there is a lot of pressure on women to have kids in order to BE a woman, and many others who have kids just because that's what you're supposed to do (nice car, nice house, dog, kids, check check check check)....but i think that's bs. i would actually like to have more kids, but my brain knows better. there are TOO many people on this planet already. it would be better for everyone if more people could be honest with themselves about it. I've had a hard time learning to admit that to people. I am comfortable with it now, it just never has been for me. No interest in babysitting, nothing that ever makes me long for it. I don't think I could be a good enough mother and raising children is too much of a responsibility to the world that I cannot go through with it. If a man in my life didn't want a vasectomy I would get my tubes tied at that age as well. Anyway, carry on. I love to surf. I'm not terribly good at it but I love it. |
