Re: From secret #1

I've never wanted them. I'm pretty selfish and self-absorbed and I'd resent the hell out of any child I had to devote my life around raising. And to be able to afford them... fuck, I'd have to give up basically all my own hobbies. No thanks.

I don't hate kids and I actually really enjoy babysitting.

But if I had to do it for the long haul, it'd be ugly for all involved and I wouldn't want to put a child through it (children should be with people who want them and love them, not people who'd resent them) and I wouldn't want to put myself through it either.

This is exactly how I feel as well.

I think that in some ideal alternate life where I had plenty of money to hire a sitter whenever I wanted, and also a loving partner who would do at least half of the parenting, I would probably choose to have a child. There'd probably still be times I would regret it, but I feel like overall it would be a positive thing, and I could still be a good parent.

But as it is, having a child would take more money than I have, and I'm aro/ace so I'd be doing it all solo. And that sounds like hell. I would not be a good parent. I would resent my kid so bad, and then I would hate myself for being horrible to this tiny person who deserves only kindness and nurture.
