I want kids, but I’m shy, socially awkward, a 34 year old virgin, and ugly, so I’d probably have to go the drunk one night stand sans condom route to get pregnant. My periods have always been irregular and I might be infertile, anyway.
While I could probably raise a kid solo if I absolutely had to, I don’t think it would be fair to them. I don’t have many friends, hardly any family—and they’re all my parents’ generation and childless—so if something happened to me any kids I had might end up in foster care.
I have codependency issues where I’m willing to do stuff for others that I can’t be assed to do for myself, so I’m sure my hypothetical kids would be fed and clothed and educated and spoiled, but I’d hate to pass on any of the more fucked-up aspects of my childhood to a new generation. But if I don’t have kids, I can’t be an aunt or anything; I’m an only child with no siblings or cousins.
