| Topic | You think you'll ever have kids? |
| Trialia 07/19/19 3:42:42 PM #19: | miki_sauvester posted... Yes. Life will be so boring past like 35 without kids. PMSL. I am 33 and entirely content with never being a parent. My disabilities limit some of what I can do, but I'm sure as hell not bored with life. I'm headed to the World Science Fiction Convention (WorldCon) with my younger brother, next month, by rail & ferry (air is rather a nightmare, as a wheelchair user). In the meantime, & otherwise, I game; read (I have a personal library of >4,000 print books); write (poetry, fanfiction & original fiction); code & create websites & graphics for them; do embroidery & mending via hand sewing; draw & colour pictures; sing (choral & other kinds of music); transcribe lyrics & TV episode scripts for a couple of sites I help with; volunteer as a regional representative for my Unitarian congregation; do my physiotherapy & occupational therapy tasks; am learning to quilt & crochet; and various other things, whenever I'm physically & mentally capable of them (& when I'm not, it usually means a lot of lying down and/or sleeping or spending time semi-conscious, or just trying to escape as much pain as I can). What's so "boring" about most of that, for a childfree life? If I want to spend time with kids, goodness knows I have a number of step-niblings, not to mention all my friends' children. I simply prefer being able to hand the kids back at the end of the day, or when I'm too sick and/or tired to carry on spending time with them. I see nothing wrong in that. --- Trialia ~ unfaithful-mirror.net PSN: Trialia_X, Xaedere (100%) | XBL: trialia, Noquelle (100%) ... Copied to Clipboard! |
