With all the baby posts, I thought I''d try to see if anyone here is like me - not having kids by choice.
I always joked that my biological clock just didn''t come with batteries, since I never "felt" the need to have kids.
I don''t get excited one bit when I see a baby - I actually get more excited if the mom also happens to be walking a cute dog -now THAT makes me smile!
But don''t get me wrong, I do like children - I work with first graders all school year as a teacher, and feel that I get any "motherly instincts" fulfilled during that time.
Just wondering if anyone else is in my boat.
And if you are, have you always felt this way? Did something make you change your mind as you got older?
Have you ever gotten preached with the "Are you crazy? How can you NOT have kids?" speech?
Just curious if I am alone here!
