Probably Won't Become A Parent Now

I do have a niece and nephew, but they're on the other side of the Atlantic from me.

I'm not very good at relationships. Having said that, I'm feeling more comfortable about meeting someone now than in the past.

True, I think that could be nice.

 

Unfortunately this depends on the person but yeah, I think I prefer being an uncle (I say I think because I understand I most likely would feel ridicilously special and happy too if I got a child. Still not really craving them though as long as I got the choice).

 

It takes a special person to love and raise, a child they did not give birth to. Perhaps you (OP) could volunteer to be a Big Sister, or foster parent. To me, those who take on children that are not their own, and do it well, are angels among us. There are so many horror stories about abusive foster parents, unfortunately. The children of the world need more good ones! I have known a few exceptional ones, who have raised dozens of amazing children. Those same children were being forgotten, or destined to a life of tragedy. Now, they all have family they can rely on, and are proof that biology is not required to make a good parent.

I, myself, have two adult children, but I have always been "mom" to many of their friends. It feels good to be there for a child who needs you. I have been to countless plays, parent teacher conferences, sat by hospital beds, fed and clothed, etc. many children whose parents failed them. To this day they still call me mom, and reach out when they could use some emotional support. My favorite moments are when they call with good news, like getting the job the wanted, or graduating. I go to every graduation, wedding, or big event in their life. There was never a formal arrangement, or piece of paper, I just stepped into the role they needed me to be in their life. It's been an extremely rewarding experience, for the most part. Even the difficult children were rewarding in their own way.

 

I believe the vast majority of males should not be allowed to live closer quarters with children they are not blood related to, same applies to a certain minority of females

 

Our biology seems to have designed us to have kids when young. Our socio-economic system often makes that problematic.

I know a person in their 50's who has a kid of about 7 years, and it's obvious to me that the kid is missing out because the parents are too old and don't have the energy needed. I've also got reservations about older people having kids because of the rapidly changing nature of the culture. Too big a generation gap isn't a good thing.

I'm way beyond having more kids now, and I'm grandfather age, but my daughter doesn't want any children, and to be honest, that suits me. It means that at my age I can pretty much pursue what I want without the massive worry and distraction that grandchildren would mean.

 

i've never expected to, and as far as i know, never have.
only one person i wasn't around during the time she would have shown pregnancy during the time she would have, so that is the only uncertainty.
and i can guarantee it was never intentional i wouldn't be there. life just interviened and i wasn't able to get back.
i'm almost certain i would have heard about it somehow if it had happened though.

the eminence of ecopocalypse, that population is one of the factors triggering it, is certainly a good reason not to add to the likelihood of making it worse.

for myself, i just recognized even as a child, i would not be happy causing and living with, children of my own.

 

That's odd. Why?
