I'm starting to think i'm abnormal
What are peoples general opinion on kids and reproducing? At 28 I'm starting to think I'm the only person on the planet who actually dislikes children, and the people that a lot of parent become once they have kids.
At my age I know a fair % of people that have decided to reproduce their choice I might think they are crazy but I dont dispute its the right of people to do so if they wish, what does get me is the constant "parent talk" my sister for example has an 18 month old, who I can just about deal with in small doses as long as hes not screaming, does nothing more than talk about him and I really do mean nothing its a constant barrage of hes done this done that look how cute he is etc etc, now in some ways I feel sorry for her as shes obviously got nothing else in her life and so cant string together a conversation other than one about him, but in other ways it drives me barmy I use to get on with her we used to go out partying, she used to be a good crack now its all babies and ****. Shes not the only one I see old school mates that constantly witter on about their lives and spawn, my facebook news feed is just a wash with mums talking and taking pictures of their offspring and it makes me sad that these people have lost their identity as a person.
Long and short of it is I'm always getting little comments from people about how I might have kids in the future and the thought of it makes me want to turn violent. Do other people have this situation where we live in a world of expectations about who and what your supposed to be and if your not you should be sanctioned? Is there actually anyone else out there like me who would rather be castrated than loose their life to children? Or am I as I'm beginning to believe completely unstable borderline sociopathic and should be being visited by people with funny tasting tic tacs?
