This may sound kinda bad, especially because I've become more pro-life as I've become older, and I was more pro-choice in my youth, but I've always looked down my nose at people who started having multiple kids in their teens. These people are still kids themselves, and in a lot of ways youth is wasted on the young, because if I woke up tomorrow as a teenager the last thing I would be doing would be running around trying to ruin my life.
I have an aunt who got pregnant when she was 15, and my cousin, her daughter, got knocked up in her first semester away at college. I kinda feel sorry for my cousin's teenage daughter, because they watch her like a hawk, and keep a tight leash on her. It probably doesn't help that my maternal grandmother was knocked up by some jerk when she was 18, my grandfather wasn't even the father, but he met her when he was 19, felt bad for her, married her, and they had like nine kids! I never even knew that my mom's oldest sister was only a half sister until I was in my mid forties. I didn't know it when I was a kid, but apparently there are a lot of bastards in my family. 😂
Feel free to look down. Most people I know(classmates, cousins, co-workers)who had kids early looked down on childless people. They'd get nosy and ask why someone doesn't have kids, act like their kids are their life, blab on about how their kids are perfect, and spew some crap about how it's every person's duty to reproduce.
My cousins were super annoying to deal with because of all this. Also, they're all either extreme liberals or extreme conservatives now and get upset if anyone says anything they don't agree with. Talking to them is like walking on eggshells.
Spot on, my chica! My Pentecostal aunt is exactly that sort of person. Apparently she said something about my mom not having any grandchildren, and perhaps there is some truth to what she probably said, but I think it's just her pride, and ego trying to make her happy with what she's got I guess. It's all too much drama drama. People always like to assume that everyone always values the same things; oftentimes they are almost incapable of insights into themselves. Ugh.
I don't know what it is, but seems that the Colombian, and Pennsylvania Dutch sides of my family always seemed to be into this bickering sort of existence. I really miss the Welsh side of my father's family, but there were less than a handful of them so of course my relations to whom I felt closest have been dead since my late adolescence. It kinda makes me sad, honestly my sister, and I will be the last of our wing of the family. I guess that's why people sort of value the whole thing about having kids, but all my life I thought that it was too much a responsibility, and a burden. It's a funny thing, but although my parents probably did spoil me, and my sister, my mom was probably too sheltering on certain things, and too strict on others, but there were certainly areas where I felt neglected, and naturally assumed that I was a burden. Maybe I am, and perhaps so is my sister on a certain level. People probably try to do their best, but usually fall short with children. I think that children have always appeared to be a burden that I didn't want to take on, and I say this going all the way back to when my sister was born. I just thought it's too much trouble.
If it would make her happy I hope my sister finds her fairy tale happy ending. I think I'm too old at this point to have one that is much more than someone else's sloppy seconds. I just always think that the domestic life is a sort of servitude of which I want no part. I'm sure it matters very much how one approaches it. I guess they did they best they could, but all of the adults fell short of the mental health portion of raising kids. I wish people didn't think that it was too expensive, unnecessary, or some slight to their fragile egos. Yanno? 🤔
I have no intention of having kids either. I don't have the patience or the maternal instincts required. They'd just come out with problems. XD
I don't really believe in fairy tale endings either but yeah I also wish my other siblings one. I don't think a person is too old to find love. Sluts are sloppy seconds. You ain't a slut. You're one of the few people here that has a dang brain. :)
Thanks, sugar, you are too sweet! ☺ I just feel like it's harder to find someone who is a keeper at this age. I honestly, don't think much about finding anyone these days. I mostly think that I want to make the most of the time I have left with my parents. I always think I can't live happily without a cat, but I still wouldn't mind having a good Shetland sheepdog.
IIN I feel very behind?
