People are so weird
I'm 16 and very very anti-child, have been since I was a child myself. I'm planning to get my tubes tied the instant I turn 18 and have stuck to this plan for years. I have a deep fear of little kids that manifested itself into pure hatred, so I know for a fact I would be a terrible mother.
Keep in mind, I am 16. A CHILD.
I was talking with a relative (mom's side) and the topic of children was brought up somehow. I was already uncomfortable because I don't like holding conversations with family members I rarely talk to, and she asked me something along the lines of "are you gonna have kids one day, (name)?"
I told her, very firmly, no. I have never been interested in kids.
She looked disappointed (Why?? who tf even are you??) and said to me "that's such a shame. Your babies would be so beautiful. It feels like none of our girls (in the family) are having any babies."
First of all... ew. Ew ew ew ew. This could just be me being bothered, but is that not such a weird fucking thing to say to a teenager?? Why are you telling me I would have such beautiful babies as if you're encouraging me to go out and get knocked up???
I don't know. It just bothered me. Our older generation is so weird when it comes to having kids. It feels like they target younger people because they have it in their minds that there's a specific age limit for baby making.
