I find it incredibly interesting that people knew the always wanted things like that...a spouse, a grand wedding, children of their own. I don't think I've ever really thought that way about those things.
When I was not an adult I thought I wanted a family. It wasn't until I became an adult and started to interact with children as one that I learned I DID NOT want one. And I've heard all the platitudes.
And I’ve heard all the platitudes.
I like to make people uncomfortable when they start going on about how my wife and I should have kids. She had a TL and I had a vasectomy. I usually start off with "kids are off the table for us."
We SHOULDN'T have kids because genetics on both our families are shit.
We WON'T have kids because they're awful to deal with 90% of the time, and neither of us feel that the world will be a livable place in their lifetime so it would be cruel to have children anyway.
We CAN'T have kids because the medical procedures.
If someone gets pushy about it, I act emotional, burst out that after so many miscarriages we have given up on children and the person should learn to take a hint.
So far nobody has had anything else to say after that.
Out of real witches???
I dug a giant hole in my back yard and called it a bear trap. Parents were not impressed.
I pretended to be a dinosaur, does that count?
My mom had a fake fur coat and I wore it, pretending to be a bear.
