When Are You Going To Have Children ?

Hola Meanies !

So I'm sure some of you hear this question often "When are you going to have
kids ?" I'm at my breaking point of answering this damn question. I have been hearing this question since I was 20 yrs old. I think folks only care about reproducing instead of trying to change the world. I'm not going to give you something to talk about. People will be overjoyed to say OMG she is young and living under her parents roof with a child etc. I wouldn't give them the satisfaction. Yes I have been on my own since I was 20 but that doesn't mean I should be reproducing all because you want something to talk about.

Honestly how is it that when folks see you this is the first question. What happen to "how are YOU doing?", " how are your friends doing?", " what's new?", what are your
plans for the future pertaining to a job/career/business?", NOT "when are you going to have children?". I'm tired of it !!!!

If you know me very well, you know that school & career is always on my mind. It takes up 85% of my brain. I don't have the AMERICAN dream which is house,
marriage & children. If you've notice school/career/businesses is no where in
that plan for a lot of people.

When someone asks me this one damn question, I
answer "just because everyone else is taking the risk of getting pregnant or
getting an STD doesn't mean I have to", "I have 7 nieces & nephews why do I
have to have children, "having children is not the only thing to do in
life", "how do you know if I want to have children",
and are going to help me raise any of the children". Why is it such a big deal
to a lot of people.

You have family members that force/constantly talk about it
because they want children not you. I'm soooo sorry but my life is a script and
I'm the writer. So stop friggin asking.
