OMG! Why can I play only as Casual now..

[Nix]

If only this was the case.

"Oh, you're so good with kids!!!" "that doesn't mean I like them or want them..."

Got three goddaughters and a nephew. Enough for me.

Ha, I feel you there. And then we get the "Oh you'll change your mind when you're older!" group which make me rofl, because obviously, they know what we feel better than we know ourselves.

Fun fact: they're also words spoken by people who, by choice, never have kids. Wow, isn't that shocking and fascinating? People like that DO exist, I hope you're aware.

Amen. Not everyone is a born babymaker.

I don't think she s/he meant it in a rude way.
Everyone says the same thing to me and I really don't want kids but I'm kinda young so I may change my mind...I hope not.
It usually does end up happening though to some people. If I did have a child, it will learn the ways of a Ninja.

It's still an annoying sentiment. "Ohohoh, you'll change your mind when you get older" is said by a lot of windbags about a lot of things when they can't accept that there are some people that will never feel the same way as them.

I realized, around age 19 or so, that my biological clock was set to kittens. It was kind of liberating realizing that I didn't have to have children to lead a full and active life. Super lucky I found a husband who felt exactly the same way. Our cats are our children, and this way we get to leave all our worldly possessions to our nieces and nephews. Life goal: Be the rich aunt who, upon passing away, makes someone's life turn into a rags-to-riches movie.

I don't like kids for myself and will never have them, or try.
Funny thing is, I'd like to be a Pediatric nurse.
I rather take care of sickly kids than take care of my own...but it's going to suck ass when
I get close to some and they probably pass away. I dunno if I can deal with that with my own flesh and blood passing.
A little personal here but yea.

Forgot to quote this one XD

THIS! SO MUCH THIS. I have absolutely no desire to procreate, continue my bloodline, have trophy kids because the neighbors have 3 so I've gotta have 3 too... screw that noise!

But looking after others, big people and the little people is where it's at for me. Peds is hella fun :3
[To counter a previous poster: A person's lack of desire to procreate has absolutely no bearing on their ability to take care of a child.]

Also, this song came to mind:

Then there are those who should sever the line. Don't have to be such a d. However I was simply implying that, yes I too said I would never have children, had no desire to have children and wasn't fond of them either, but things do and can change. Thats all. It was just a simple comment about human nature that some do change as they age. So if you want to be a condescending jerk, well again thats your choice.

That's how I was seeing it so I never took offense to it lol.

Real life is a dull grind after age 18, unless you go the college route and prolong it a few more years. It also has some of the worst characters I have seen in an MMO.

[Nadirah]

Did the parents of the goddaughters know your position on kids before choosing you to take care of them should something happen?

Yup. Bestie of 25 years.

Just because I don't like kids doesn't mean I don't know how to make sure they grow up to be responsible people.

They actually listen to me when given directions or orders and their stepdad and biological father both have no iidea how I get them to listen. All teenagers...

[Jacosta]

Sounds more to me like he thinks he's bragging. "Ha ha nerds! I fooled a real girl into doing the do with me and she got pregnant so I'm not a nerd like you anymore!"

I thought the same thing haha! This made me lol!
