Right. One thing that has really been bugging me this week is the assumption from all of my co-workers that since my boyfriend and I have been together..TWO YEARS...that we should be thinking of having children.. I am astounded. Why on earth do they think that I should have children. I'm only 21 for christs sake..22 in September..but still no chance in hell I'm having kids. I want to go back to college. Do a course in Buisiness Management and open my own coffee/tea/bookshop. I do not want to settle down and have kids. AARGH!!
Fair enough these darn maternal instincts are kicking in, but if I remember to take the right pills they go away. Just the mentioning of having little kiddies makes me go all gooey and I hate it. I don't want to leave kids till I'm in my thirties, but I think personally I'm not ready for that kind of care. I mean my cat is bad enough..My cat is my baby...And she's turned into a little cow, so fuck knows what I'll be like with a child.
So here I plead with you all, give me reasons to remind me why children are no good.
Here are mine so far:
1) They smell.
2) They cry.
3) They cost pretty pennies.
4) They smell.
Du.
Still furious at the nerve of her co-workers...honestly!!

My sister and her husband have been married an known each other for 5 years and she has no plans to have kids.
Just tell them to bugger off, and say that your relationship is strong enough without needing kids.

Maybe in a couple of years, but not until i get my coffe shop/ book shop set up..
I've been reading far too much Per Solum Lacuna by Maya...
Still only at the 'They smell' stage. I like kids. I do. As long as I can give them back.
Du...still fuming.

Wow, I had a coffee shop/book shop dream, then I realised I wouldnt get anything done becuase i would just sit around drinking coffee and reading books all day...

You have to be sober almost 24/7 to look after them.
They WILL hurt your cat's tail.
You will have no time for yourself.
You will have no time to write/read/whateverthefuckgoeshere.
They will EAT DIRT (and things).
They cause MASS back pains and vommiting.
They grow up to hate you and make you cry.
They'll raid your stash/bookcase/cupboards.
You. Will. Kill. It.
So there. I'm living wityh a baby brother. It makes me hate myself for the way I sometimes feel about him. Don't do it, not yet. Wait until yopu've set yourself up and done the things you want to get done first.
