lol, don’t worry, I don’t keep an actual file!

(IRL I’m not anti-kid, just devoutly anti-kids-of-my-own, and keep it to myself unless prodded)

Same here, my nieces and friends kids are cool, none for me and Mrs blacktruck though, we are good with a cat and dog and even those are annoying sometimes.

My answer to the incessant “do you have kids?” question, because it’s so utterly fucking strange in the Latino community for a Latina of a certain age to not have kids, is to deadpan, “I have a cat.”

People are so accustomed to hearing “yes” or “no” that answering with that usually shuts up the follow-up, “Well, don’t you want any?”

FTR, I’m neither here nor there on that follow-up question, but I also don’t believe in putting the cart before the horse.

If someone casually asks when/if we’re having kids, I put on a smile and say “they don’t make child seats for motorcycles!”

If someone’s really prying about it, I tell them “I can’t.”

If that doesn’t shut them up and I’m feeling salty, I explain that I can’t because an entire surgical team found my rationale acceptable enough to perform a tubal ligation on a 24-year-old. I had to convince surgeons and nurses, but I sure as shit don’t need to convince anyone else now :)

Also -I have a family history of bipolar disorder and a blood condition that predisposes me to miscarry. I’ve never wanted kids, and certainly not enough to risk that.

When I was 16 I wanted kids later in life, now I’m 36 I’m more, nope not for me.

When I think about having kids I just have to look at kids acting up and misbehaving around me and I smile knowing that they aren’t mine and I can go home in the morning have a beer and a pizza and go to bed when I want.
