i dislike children also, i have 15 or 16 nieces and nephews and really, I'm over it. I use birth control and condoms so that I don't become pregnant, and if I did I would terminate the pregnancy. I do not think I will ever have children. If I do, I'd have to get everything I want done first. I would need to be in a marriage for quite awhile, have my career in line (an economist probably) and have already traveled and partied and had my fun. Even as a little girl I didn't want children. I just don't think I would be a good parent because I have a hard time with giving love. Which also leads to me not getting married because I have a hard time giving/recieving love and affection. Its not that I dont think I deserve it, I am happy but Its just tough for me. I'm still young though, im only 20 so I have many child-bearing years left. I dunno, i just see a lot of children being raised the wrong way and Im not patient n dont wanna screw up a life of a child. I also have seen both my sisters and my mom go through divorces and I have not been in a serious relationship ever even though I am almost out of college. I think there is something wrong with me. I have been mistreated by many men but I am not solely blaming them in most cases, so I dont think I could have what I need to bring a child into the world, although I worked in the KIDS section of a store and baby clothes are DAMN cute
