I'm a 28 yr old woman and I never liked kids. Even when I was a kid, I couldn't stand playing with the kids my age. Just how I was. I know it sounds strange. I don't see anything cute about babies or infants. To me, they're kind of a burden. Screaming, carrying on, crying, whining, not listening...etc...I never want any children. Even when I was a kid or infant, I never touched a Barbie or doll like girls do. That's usually the beginning into Motherhood or teaches children. It's never been my cup of tea. Plus, I can't stand animated movies. Anything dealing with kids, I just can't stand...i'm sorry...I was just wondering if I was the only woman or not...I know it's a rare thing for a woman...

You sound like you have no problem knowing what and who you are. Just because we are women doesn't automatically guarantee we all want to be mothers. The problem lies when the women that don't want to really be mothers do so because of society. I have a sister that seemed quite upset that her daughter didn't want to have any children even though she was married. I told my sister to congratulate her daughter in knowing who she is and what she wants.....not to cave in just because that is what my sister thought she should do. We are all unique and I say good for you for knowing who you are and leading your life the way that feels good to you.

I'm not that crazy about them. I've always said "they're cute, as long as they belong to someone else"... I am almost certain I would never want to raise one, because I don't like how I see children being brought up these days or the idea of giving up everything you are to concentrate so totally on the constant demands of a child. The concept is completely repulsive to me. The roles these days are almost totally reversed, such that the child is in complete control and the parents must cater to their every want and desire. (It's one thing to do it for a baby, but another entirely when the child becomes old enough to be manipulative...) Something is definitely wrong with that whole way of thinking, and I see it happening far too frequently.
The level of attention and care babies need is something I'm neither able nor willing to give; I have enough trouble keeping up after a nearly year-old kitten. So I definitely don't see any babies in my future.

I never wanted kids when I was younger. When I was 17 I got prego, and it took me about a month after my baby was born to bond with him. I am now a proud mama of 3 boys! I love being a mom...it is the greatest, but I know there are women out there who don't want kids. Kids can be stressful. My kids are actually pretty good so far, but they aren't teens yet lol. I feel sorry for those parents on Supernanny or Nanny 911 LOL

Personally , I love kids- I believe we all don't pay enough attention or take enough time with our own children. The world needs to think about them before they go out and start wars and fights with each other. By the way, I do have an Aunt that is nice to kids but she doesn't want any of her own. We all were not born to be Mothers. If you know this , it is best to listen to yourself. There is nothing worse than a Mother that does not want her child, yet keeps them for the food stamps. However, I applaud women who if they are unable to care for their child are smart enough to find people that want their child through adoption.

Way to go. I feel the same way. Babies and kids just don't do it for me. I never make a fuss over other people's kids either, even though I guess I'm supposed to. You shouldn't have kids if your heart isn't in it anyway. Be true to youself, don't make youself miserable by having kids just 'cause some people say you should.

I have four children. I wouldn't change it for the world. I truly believe that there are plenty of women who do not want children. Is there a problem with that? Not at all. It is a life choice. My hands together for you. I think it is great you say how you feel. There are so many women and girls that get pregnant and have children and then dont want them or cant take care of them. Enjoy whatever it is that makes you happy. There is a whole lot of life out there for people without children.

Yes. (I'm not one now, but I used to be kind of that way - I always crinkled my nose and said they stink LOL!) There's no reason you HAVE to like babies just because you're a woman. That's silly. You go girl!
