Hi There Llyn,
How wonderful to discover a group of women who, like myself, do not feel the need to have kids. I don't know why, but people who have kids seem to constantly want to challenge my decision to not have children. It's as if my friends with kids feel it's their duty to 'show me the light'. How on earth can I feel fullfilled when I am missing out on so much, they want to know? To that I say: How wonderful to feel fullfilled without needing children.
Growing up I was more interested in books than anything else.
I played with dolls but it was always "school, school".They were
the pupils and I was the teacher. It was never a case of playing "house".
I did enjoy playing with my "Peaches and Cream" Barbie, however.
She sported a lovely office outfit, with a briefcase in hand, by day, and a beautiful ball gown by night. And I remembered
thinking that that's who I wanted to be when I grew up. A career orientated woman with a great social life. I never entertained the idea of marrying and having kids.
At the age of 32 I still think people expect me to one day jump up saying: 'By George I've got it. I've seen the light and I want to have children'. And that just 'ain't gonna happen'.
I have JUST registered with BellaOnline so what a great surprise to discover a topic of discussion to which I can relate.
