Stop Apologizing To Me!
I am here to tell you that it is OK that you do not want kids....it is OK.
It is a truth universally
known that a couple who is married and in their thirties are in want of a
baby. Unless- that is- they don’t. It is
more and more common these days to see couples trotting around baby less and
happy- and I want you to know, there is no need to apologize about it.
I cannot tell you how many times a week I talk
to my single friends and they are complaining about these kids crying in the restaurant,
or baby vomit on the beach- and they say these six words “I just do not want
kids” followed with an immediate apology to me- the one person in their age
group that has a child. That statement usually follows with a roll of my eyes
and a “oh shut up” but honestly it makes me wonder what makes them feel like
they have to apologize to me? Is it simply because I pro-created, or is it
because I enjoy motherhood so much? Either way it needs to stop, everyone
chooses the path that their lives will go on. Our decisions may be different,
but I do not judge you for not following the crowd. You are an adult that can decide what kind of
life you want to lead. If you want a kid have one- if you do not, then do not
feel the need to apologize- especially to me because honestly I feel ya.
