If you want the best cure for baby fever and the best birth control, move right onto my block. I live in the city, on a very narrow street. On any given day there are 20394830498 kids playing, yelling, and going nuts. Usually this takes places right in front of my house. I never had too much of a problem with kids-- but now that I live here (and don't get me wrong, I do love my neighborhood), I have found that birth control starts with just looking out the window.
Aside from the annoying kids, I have never had baby fever. I am 27 and have been married for a bit over three years. I am so focused on my schooling and career, I couldn't think of anything I would want less. I always thought this "baby fever" kicked in when women were in their 20s or 30s. But... 18? When I was 18, that was the last thing I was thinking about. Plus that was right around the time when my mental health issues were really kicking in, so I definitely wasn't thinking about babies. I needed to learn (and I am still learning) how to care for myself. There has never been a point in my life in which I could really say that, one day, I would want to have kids. I can't think of any good reasons why I would need/want children. I tend to have trouble understand some people's reasoning for wanting children. Yesterday I was talking with my friend and I asked her why she wanted kids. She said, "To give someone a better life than I was given." I would tend to think there would be much deeper, and many more reasons than that. I don't know... that surely wouldn't be reason enough for me. I'd rather work on improving my own life than put all my energy into making someone else's better. I am glad that I am firm on my feelings. Too many kids in this world who aren't loved and cared for the way that they should be. I would never want to contribute to that. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
