Oh, I HATE that one!!!
I'm well aware that I was once a child myself, and I'll bet I was annoying as hell! I'm very glad my mother chose to have me, but that by no means obligates me to go on and procreate cheerfully. I don't hate children, I just don't want any!
And you're not the only one who thinks pregnancy and childbirth are icky. I hate when people make me feel their stomachs when the baby kicks - reminds me of the scene from "Alien"...and as for childbirth, I have two words that are the best birth control ever: mucus plug. Bleahhhhhhhh.
I'd like to know when my reproductive choices became anybody's business but mine and ratbastid's. I understand that people who have children love them, and think it's a great experience, but that doesn't mean it's right for everyone.
