Ive never ever ever wanted children. I dont like being around them and the older i get the worse it gets. Now I oddly enough am a kid at heart and Ive had several friends tell me Id made the best mom. A good friend of mines daughter has grown up around me and has told me more than once that she wished I was her mother even though she knew Id be a strict and no nonsense child raiser. Im really not sure what to say to that. Ive just never had the desire to have children. I can barely take care of myself, why would I want a screaming drooling infant in my life to deal with on top of it? I also refuse to go through the physical pain and suffering to carry and birth a child too. Not in me no way to go through that. My life has taught me that no man is worth it. And thankfully the man Im with wants no children either so thats perfect. I never wanted to play with dolls and baby carriages and whatever when I was a kid. Just had no interest what so ever. So yea, if there is a mommie gene thank the powers that be that I dont have it!! Besides who in their right mind would want to bring a life into this country in the state its in and spiraling down to anyway (not to mention the world)?!! To me having a bay in this day and age is the ultimate form of selfish disregard… yea haters post your comments, i wont see them, i never check back on my comments… have fun!

I never felt the need to have children, in fact, I would say that I thought that I would never have kids. I always disliked babysitting, or playing with little kids and always thougth that having kids seemed like a huge inconvenience, like “why would anyone want that kind of headache?” Until…..I got pregnant. It was not planned and at first seemed quite terrifying…..and then something clicked in me. I am now mom to 3 kids and can’t imagine my life without them. People who don’t know me well always make comments that “I must have been born to be a mom” …It was never something that I yearned for until I had them. Greatest “accident” ever.

Mommy gene? Seems possible I mean I’m quite young and I crave for a child of my own, I’ve always felt the first and most important thing to ever happen to me in my life is to become a mother, I get baby fever just bien around infants, I love to babysit for family memebers because its the closest I have to a child, but weather there is a mommy gene or not everyone has the ability to be the greatest mother they can be if they put forth effort to be so,

Mommy Gene? I never had it. Didn’t play with dolls. Rode horses and ponies. I had a baby brother and learned early what diapers really are so I didn’t want to go there again. No desire to have a child. Child birth was not the exciting thing everyone makes it out to be. It hurts. Why do it? Don’t understand kids until they hit the age of reason….about 20. Glad not wanting to be a Mom is like my blue eyes, just something I inherited.
