re: not wanting kids
i’ve seen a lot of pushback against “kid hating” lately, so let me just say a few things:
- i don’t particularly like kids
- they make me uncomfortable
- the idea of being responsible for the physical and emotional well being of a child freaks me out
- being pregnant is incredibly unappealing to me
- i wouldn’t want to screw up my kids or scar them in any way with my shitty parenting
- i don’t want to have to organize my personal/professional lifestyle and finances around my children for 21+ years
- i just don’t want kids
but
- i would never be mean to children
- i love other people’s kids
- i completely understand why other people want children
- i’m fully aware that many others struggle to conceive and i would never disrespect or belittle that pain
- i don’t think less of anyone for wanting kids
the idea that people who don’t want kids are inherently selfish, uncaring assholes is a lazy, misogynistic attempt to shame people (primarily women) for prioritizing personal goals and self care above parenthood. Choosing to have children doesn’t automatically make you more kind or selfless or fulfilled than people who don’t. Wanting to remain childfree is not the same as “hating kids,” nor does it mean you’re a horrible person. It’s a personal choice like everything else, so can we please stop being shitty about it?
this is so important.

i pretty much run away screaming every single time a boy shows any sign of having feelings for me/becomes even the slightest bit emotionally dependent on me and i honestly have no idea why. it’s not that I’m afraid of commitment i just have absolutely no interest in it. i feel completely claustrophobic when people are affectionate towards me. i keep unintentionally hurting people and it sux i just don’t think i ever want to be with anybody like ever
