7 Days of Truth – #5
Previous Truths: #1, #2, #3, #4
Truth #5; I don’t like children.
And I’m not talking about just kid-avies in SL. I’m talking actual RL breathing and living children. I mean really. The first few years is just a big mess of slobbering, screaming, pooping and sleeping. What’s to like? You know, I don’t even think they’re that cute. A kid has to be exceptionally fluffy for me to think they’re cute.
You’d think it’d get better as they grow too. But no, I can’t even understand a kid under the age of 7. A lot of incoherent babbel is what I hear. How someone can find this adorable is beyond me. And go figure, as soon as they are understandable, they also start demanding things. And then they’re just a few years away from puberty. We all know what a big nuisance a teenager can be.
Anyway, this seems to be a truth that is very provoking to many people. But really, it’s not like I go around screaming “I hate you” to every child I meet. I give them the same initial respect as I do with any other person. I’m polite, I was raised well.
But, when asked one of the most moronic question in the world “Why don’t you have kids yet?” I’ll tell the truth. I don’t like them. Not even a little. Can’t think of myself as a Mother. And boy do people get their knickers in a knot.
And no, I’m not going to change my mind “when I grow up”.
I’m 25, I’m pretty damn grown, ok?
Eh…you sound pretty normal to me. I have a kid, and I still look at other people who have kids and think they’re crazy for doing so.
@ Isabeal: Haha, really? That’s hilarious.
I know several women who feel the same way. It’s normal. For me on the other hand, I LOVE kids…I think I was a female in my 1st life cause I swear I have motherly intuition! lmao..okay tmi.

@Sixx: Actually, that’s another thing, it’s more ok for a man to not like children, while one that does, everyone swoons over. Wtf?
Different people are different. I have friends who don’t want kids; that’s their decision, if they’re happy, that’s great
I’ve always wanted kids, still do. Just different. *shrugs, smiling*
*shrugs* I know you don’t like them, Sis. But I’m glad you came out of the closet to the rest of the world!
