Reasons NOT to have kids
If you didn’t know already, I’m totally not going to have any kids in this lifetime. I’m completely content to spoil my nephew and new niece. As I’ve watched my sister go from fun-time college girl to married mom with kids, she’s shown me even more reasons not to have kids (though she loves her’s very much).
Here, in no particular order, are some of the reasons I’ve found for not having kids:
1: Diapers
2: the cost of diapers
3: playhouse Disney
4: imported Australian kids shows
5: car seats
6: short legs
7: the word “No!”
8: 2 year olds asking you “what are you doing?” every two seconds while you are in the bathroom
9: potty training
10: Morning sickness
11: stretch marks
12: hours of labor
13: cecarian sections
14: weekly hospital check ups
15: hourly checks for two days after actually having the kid when all you really want to do is sleep
16: nurses ignoring you when you ask for anything to ease the pain
17: nurses bringing you heavy drugs when all you wanted was a motrin

41: first day of school
42: the talk
43: unconsolable crying
44: why? why? why?

46: huh? (Sean’s favorite word before he learned ‘why?’)
47: finding a babysitter / daycare
48: the cost of babysitter / daycare
49: preschool (finding, applying, paying)
50: mud pies
51: growth spurts
