If I had any doubts that I don’t want kids in my life, this Christmas season sealed it for me.
First I had a serious conversation with MGLN about children. She doesn’t have any children nor does she want to have any for very valid personal reasons. Which leads me to believe there will be other attractive single women who feel the same way.
Second was the masses of kids taking over all the lanes at the pools during the holidays. All of the local swim teams took advantage of holidays, covid days and weekends to jam in swim practices during all hours of the day. It was inconvenient for me (waa!). But, more to the point, they were loud and annoying. They literally never stop talking except when they are screaming or underwater.
Third, were my experiences with neighborhood kids. It seems that popular Christmas gifts on my street are battery powered cars that kids drive down the sidewalk and powered scooters. These both make my dog Wiggles go absolutely bonkers. She wants to kill anything on wheels. The kids who live two houses away from me like to ride up to my house then circle around in my driveway while Wiggles tries to launch herself through the front window. This fascinates the kids, who then ride slowly back an forth on the sidewalk in front of my house while staring at my lunatic dog.
So if I happen to fall for some attractive, cool woman who wants to have kids (or has some already) and I say, “I don’t really want any kids, but I’d do it for her. I’ll love them and be a good father,“, please point me back to this post to restore my sanity.
