Is it normal i don’t think i can take care of other living things

I’ve talked on here before about how I don’t want to have kids, and how just the thought of it irritates me. We recently got a puppy and even though I love dogs, he’s a real hassle to look after. I’ve always hated babies, and while I don’t mind kids I would never want to be responsible for them. I’ve come to realize that it’s just not in my nature to take care of other living things, whether people or animals.

It might have to do with the fact that I’m the youngest and have really had to take care of anyone else, plus my mom is a very pessimistic person and she lead me to believe that having kids is just overall a really miserable life. It’s not that I don’t care about others, but I know my own wants and needs and I have trouble figuring out others. I think I’d be doing my non-existent Children a favor by not having them, as I know I would not be good in that position.

    I think you're making a wise decision, because it sounds like you know yourself well and what you want. I know people are going to persuade you into having children, but don't crumble under peer pressure! This is your life, not theirs!

    If you wouldn’t be good at taking care of anything then it would be a favor to not have any sounds like you don’t want them anyway. Problem solved. Some people just don’t do well at it I’m glad you see it in the beginning before having a kid you don’t care for.

        Sounds to me like this person has their mind pretty well made up, however, I/we dont know how old they are. People do change and their is a chance that this person could have a change of heart in the future.
        But no pressure either way. It's their life.

    If you're not a kids person, get with someone who is. That way, you'll split the tasks - you bring in the money, and they deal with the brats. Of course, it'd be easier if you were the guy in this dynamic.

    I see all the time ads on gumtree. "Free dog to good home"

    You people are scum, so quick to jump and get a dog, then ya expect the dog to be someone elses responsibility.

    Don't get a dog! 99% of you guys are not responsible enough to own dogs!

    If ya feeling all petsy and weird, start with a guinea pig or gold fish.

      It was my family in General Who decided, I was naive about it. I’m sure I’ll get used to him when he gets older, I’m just a bit stressed out about him rn

        There is no getting used to it, I mean when they get about 10 year old they settle down a bit, but you need to train it bud. You are the master, it needs to see you as the alpha. It needs to fear you when you are angry and respect you when you are not
