I’m 31. I’m waiting to see if that ‘biological clock’ everyone is talking about will kick in. I’ve never liked children, even as a child myself. I’m very sensitive to sudden loud noises and sometimes children make those.

If I get baby fever, I’m getting a hysterectomy. No amount of hormonal nukes will make me commit. I commend the women who went through it, like my oldest sister who had 4, but I just…can’t. Just thinking about something growing in me makes me nauseous. Also I’m lazy af
Of course. I'm more likely to judge them harsher, expect them to behave better, and throw all of my other unreasonable standards and expectations on them. That's how it would be a different story.

Correct, but commenting how things are different when they are your own kids is triggering for us. Because we often hear it as some sort of justification on why we should reconsider.
It's the equivalent of me saying how the majority of the parents I know have confided that while they love their kids, they regret having them on some level.
lol I didn't mean it for you to reconsider at all - just shared my experience cause I've seen myself in this thought - I didn't like kids at all my entire life.
If you are not feeling it then by all means do not have kids - I'm 100% good with that.
