Why I Love Not Having Kids & Wish People Would Stop Asking Me About it

“Kids are great, until they’re yours”

Look, I don’t hate kids. I actually love them. Mostly just while they are being civil and nice though.

When I was younger I pictured myself as a parent. Turns out, I have never felt that pull they say you get when you are being called to procreate. I might never get it.

And I am totally good with that.

For those that constantly question my childless choice, here are some of the many, many reasons that cross my mind nearly every day, of why I haven’t had kids, am glad I don’t have kids, and may never have kids:

• I don’t have to worry about something nonstop
• I can sleep as much as I want
• I can go on sporadic adventures
• I can take long or even endless trips
• I can wander whenever I feel the pull, without time constraints
• I can put my own health and sanity first
• I can be the ‘fun auntie’ with my nieces and nephews and then give them back when they get tired and cranky
• I can do whatever I want, exactly when I feel like it
• I don’t have to tell anyone what to do
