So who DOES NOT want to have children? Raise a family. Have a future full of Little league, PTA meetings, carpools and general firsts. It actually does sound appealing, settling down with some tattooed metal kid. Buying an S.U.V. Dinner at the folks on sundays. Yet, at the same time, why? Let the rest of the world stay in place. Aging and watching everything go by. I want to experience my life before I devote it to a person whom I have to show and start down a path of their own. Then there is the ''Daddy" issue. What kind of man do I want give me a child and raise it with me? I used to think that I knew. Sure, I would like to be taken care of . Who wouldn't? But I just can't see myself playing house wife, baking in pearls, dusting the Skulls and coffins in the living room..... I especially can't think about being "mommy" when I have worked with children under the age of 5 for the last SEVEN years. I have potty trained, changed diapers, cleaned runny noses, attended scraped knees and dried the tear of a many a child in that time. I can sniff a "blankie" and tell you whom it belongs to in my classroom. My mommy powers are creepy. I have had my fill. I live in Utah and profit off the breeding habits of the L.D.S. cult..... I mean religion. I go home to a quiet house, empty yes. I hope to change that. (Companionship is desirable) I drink myself into a lovely stupor on a regular basis. And I am content.
