I’m 21, and I’ve been saying for years how I never plan to have children. I am so tired of people telling me that I’m young and will change my mind. My mum likes to torture me all the time with her ideas of being a grandmother, and saying that I’ll have to go through what I supposedly put her through. We don’t talk anymore, for reasons that I will not divulge. Reasons that make me never want to have children. My mother wants me to have children as revenge, sickening I know. Why would I want a relationship with my children like that I had/have with my mother?
I’ve noticed how people who have had a family, like to “try” and rub their happiness in my face because they know that I never want children. And I just think to myself, “deep down, they aren’t that happy… they may be miserable”.
People say that I am selfish or cold for never wanting children. Why?
