Stop asking me about kids, mom. I’m still a child.


I’m sure this is a popular opinion on this subreddit, but I want some advice(?). So basically, my mom always likes to talk to my sister and I, and sometimes my brother, about kids and marriage and future stuff etc etc. anytime she brings up this stuff my brother and sister will say a few things like my brother might marry his gf, I’ll name my kid x or y, omg I hope my husband is so hot etc etc. personally I don’t care for future things bc I don’t think it’s the most important thing rn.Anyways, to the childfree part, my mom always asks us about kids and when we have them she wants to hang w them and baby sit etc grandma things. I always tell her that I don’t want kids and they aren’t in my future. I cant even have penetrative sex, let alone give birth and I don’t want to adopt because I simply don’t like kids. I think they’re expensive and I don’t like the idea of being a mother figure. My mom throws me the “you night change your mind” card but... I’ve been telling her the same thing for years. It shouldn’t even matter since I’m still seventeen. My brother being 25 and sister 15, both dont have kids rn.Parents and grandparents etc adults shouldn’t always be on their kids or younger folk over kids. Some of us are still kids. Some of us don’t care and know we don’t want kids we aren’t changing our minds. Anyways I’d like some comments or thoughts on how to steer people away from the idea of changing minds on having kids. I want to say witty things to my mom and whatnot. This was more of a rant than anything but haha has to say something. via /r/childfree https://ift.tt/3d9YxCm
