Not long ago, I wanted to have children of my own. The idea of pregnancy didn't bother me at first, but recently, I find that I'm not interested in it at all. The fact that the woman has to go through these physical changes alone makes me angry. I don't think that I would be able to handle it.

Well, it's not fun, but if you want children, it is worth going through, and you will probably handle it much better than you think. I never wanted kids, this whole motherhood / pregnancy thing rubbed me wrong; yet I am pregnant now, and I am dealing with it surprisingly well.

Actually, I was thinking of adopting to have children. My mom told me how her feet and nose got big when she was pregnant. I don't want to go up a shoe size. It's hard enough as it is to find decent shoes for myself. I don't want to go through that whole morning sickness phase or the part where your stomach grows.

I think adoption would be the best option for me. But honestly, I'm way too greedy to be a parent. I know I would do a better job than my mom did, but I still would like to keep my money for myself. I can't imagine having to take care of another person for 18 years.. I can barely take care of myself so ya.. it would be a terrible idea

Adoption is a great option - if you want kids. I don't know why people are so preoccupied with having their own child and talk about "bad genes" when it comes to adoption. You never know: your own kid might turn out to be a terrible brat while an adopted child might be a true blessing.

I'll be honest, I can't stand the idea of having to take care of a kid for 18 years, either. But, oh well, there is nothing I can do about it.

If that is how you feel, then you'll have to make sure you're using effective protection every time you have sex in order to avoid pregnancy. Because if you don't believe in abortion, you will definitely be stuck with it even though you are not interested.

Yeah, but isn't life kinda boring without kids? I mean there's no one who will call you mommy then rapes your wallet haha. That makes me remember how god kids raped their god parent's wallet during Christmas.

Yes, plus there are sooo many kids that need homes right now that they would love to have a parent figure they can look up to. If you don't mind you should go for the older children who are less likely to get adopted as it would give them hope as typically everyone who adopts wants a newborn. But I think with the world we are living in today adoption is great for those who are willing.
