They do!
But I actually never have.
One might think, because I write this blog, that I've totally given up or find distasteful the very idea of dating, having sex, or getting married. Not true.
I'm devoted though to going without a relationship unless it's right, and it's not that I think there is only one Mr. Right for me, or for anyone; I really do not expect perfection. But I also do not care to pretend someone who is not right for me is, in order to be part of society. I know I'm not perfect and others are not perfect. I get that. It's just that the longer I live, the more people I know who have divorced because they married for all the wrong reasons (or some of the wrong reasons) such as "It's about time."
I'm not talking about marriages that are abusive which should never happen at all. I'm talking about incompatibility that was overlooked or not dealt with in the first place. Years go by and suddenly the couple realizes theses things. It's tragic when there are children involved.
I think, if you're going to have even one child, first find a great partner and then willfully have that child.
I don't hate children.
I just know that I cannot give a child what all it deserves. Again, not expecting perfection. If I had a child I might even have to home school it, rather than send it to a bad school.
So there!

UNCONVENTIONAL NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS? HERE ARE SOME RETORTS TO STUPID QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS!
1) When I hear someone saying something stupid about me on the basis that I'm NMNK I will speak up and tell them "That's Stupid!" (I'm especially sick of hearing "You never gave birth so you don't know what it is to raise/have a child.")
2) When someone such as a stranger asks me my marital status I will say "unavailable," and offer no further explaination than "Just am." (If you don't have the courage for this try saying unmarried rather than single. You really do not owe strangers personal information anyway.)
3) When someone such as a stupid stranger asks (usually because they just learned I'm NMNK) "Have you ever been in love?" I'll say "Am I a human being?"
4) When someone suggests that I'm childless because I "ran out of time," I'll say, "NO actually not having children was my PLAN!)
5) When someone tries to introduce me to someone else for the purposes of matchmaking I will no longer agree just because I like this middle-person. I will ask "What makes you think this person and me are compatible?" and "Let me think about it."
6) When I meet someone who has a woe is me attitude simply because they have not married or had children (yet) I will suggest to them that they read this blog!
