Before I get on with my post, I hope I chose the right forum to post this in. Okay, here goes:
this is a topic that has been on my heart for quite awhile now. First, a bit of background on me: I adore children. I am a highly sought after babysitter (because the kids love me) I used to supervise recess at my local elementary school, I participate and lead my churches vacation bible school every single year, and the parents of my charges frequently comment on my nurturing spirit. But here is the deal: I don't want kids of my own. I don't feel like I could take a life of crying kids, wiping runny noses, baby drool (ugh. I hate that stuff) losing the privilege sleeping in, giving up all my free time to raise another human being ect. I am not pro eugenics, but I feel that I have a lot of bad things I would pass on genetically (diabetes, pcos, high blood pressure ect) essentially the only good thing I have to contribute to the gene pool, is a mutation. In my psck9 gene. Which essentially makes me immune to bad cholesterol (about 3% of the population has this mutation.) and besides that, pregnancy would be dangerous to me due to health complications. anyway, back to the topic. Many woman tell me that I will change my mind, or act like I'm crazy for not wanting kids. But for me, the worst part is: will I ever find a godly man who does not want kids?does anyone else feel the same way?
