I don't find that selfish at all. I think you are being honest. You feel a specific way and make rational decisions accordingly. I dig that.Originally Posted by Beautiijunkii /img/forum/go_quote.gif
... To be honest, I just feel selfish. I want to do what I want to do when I want to do it and I don't want to have to drag another person around with me.

Does that mean he's the absolute center of my universe and everything revolves around him? NO! He is a blessing addition to our family but not what defines us.

NEVER EVER EVER let anyone tell you (even yourself) that it's selfish not to want a child. That's one of the most common criticisms leveled at women who choose to remain CF. And from a logical standpoint, isn't it "more" selfish to WANT a kid than not to? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> (I MAKE THAT STATEMENT WITH ABSOLUTELY NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE WHO CHOOSES TO BE A PARENT)Originally Posted by Beautiijunkii /img/forum/go_quote.gif
Thanks doll!
Agreed! If I want to make a difference, I'd really prefer to do with with a Girl Scout troop or through a youth shelter or something like that.Originally Posted by calexxia /img/forum/go_quote.gif
DON'T feel like a horrible person--EVERYONE has a different reason for being on this planet; yours is likely to do with the love you feel towards animals. It isn't a negative thing that you don't feel maternal!
I am maternal, I guess...just not towards babies (really don't care for them). I've always said that it's better for this world that I can be a positive influence on MULTIPLE kids, rather than on just one or two of my own, where I might not BE as positive an influence...with other folks' kids, I can stay upbeat, etc. But with my own, I'm quite certain I'd be cranky and all that....it really isn't where my destiny ever lay. I'm lucky that I was able to realize that very young.
This is still a fear of mine! I'll go in my son's room when he's sleeping and poke him just to make sure he moves lol.Originally Posted by aleeeshuh /img/forum/go_quote.gif
2. When babies are sleeping I have this fear that they're not breathing. I always feel the need to slightly wake them up to see if they're ok
I can definitely relate to you on this one. I love animals and want some really bad. I'd love to have a dog!Originally Posted by calexxia /img/forum/go_quote.gif
