Being a homemaker.

No, don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to insult you for having no maternal instinct. Most people can't even tell if they do or not. I'm just saying that if you have the sense to tell that you'd feel resentment to the child for being born that you'd have the sense to get over it and start parenting. As most mature people do.

But then again I'm the world's only living heart donor so my opinion isn't exactly qualified.

Which is a completely and utterly moot point because I never intend on having children. Maternal instinct nonwithstanding. It's not maternal instinct I lack (I baby and nurture my cat more than some people probably baby and nurture their actual children), I just have zero desire to ever produce an offspring.

And why is it that you have no problem with resenting a child that came into the world because of a mistake you made?

Jezebel · Post by **Jezebel** » Mon Jul 05, 2004 7:07 am

Because that situation will never happen maybe? Let me repeat this for you a few times. I never intend on having children. I never intend on having children. I never intend on having children. I never intend on having children. I never intend on having children. I never intend on having children. I never intend on having children. I never intend on having children.

So therefore, I can not resent a child I do not have. I was saying that IF I accidently got pregnant, and decided to keep and raise the baby, I would likely resent it, because, and this is the kicker, I never wanted it to begin with. Keeping a child I don't want would be utterly foolhardy and of course would cause a vast amount of resentment on my part. Which I wouldn't. Because I have no intentions of ever making that mistake.

This is why I have the choice NOT to keep it, and why I would exercise that choice. I would not let a child grow up in a household where s/he was not wanted, which is the difference between myself, and the people that keep their children even when they lack the desire/means to take care of them. This is also why I take precautions against having a child. Did you get my point that time?

Yeah, and you're different from all the other people who didn't want children, except they got them anyway.

And the point I'm getting from you is that you love your child enough to get rid of it because you resent it.

Well, I guess I would feel that way if I ever got into that situation, which is extremely unlikely that I would. I'm on depo right now, which is 97% effective, possibly switching to IUD sometime soon, which is 99% effective, and eventually (when I can find someone to do this) get my tubes tied. I'm not one of those people that say "I don't ever want children, oops! had unprotected sex with 70 guys, even though I'm utterly selfish, can't afford it, and don't want this child, I'm going to have and keep it anyways! teehee" It's not I don't plan on having children but wouldn't mind a mistake. I don't want them, period. Mistake or no. I never intend on raising one. That's what my cat is for.

Lets get one thing straight. When we deal in hypotheticals, we deal in the SAME ONES. So when I ask "If you get pregnant will you keep the child?" Do NOT pad your posts with. "I never intend on having children. I never intend on having children. I never intend on having children. I never intend on having children. I never intend on having children. I never intend on having children. I never intend on having children. I never intend on having children. " For shits and giggles and then quickly follow up with, "It'll never happen so your point is moot."

"The reason why I have no problem resenting my baby is because I'll never have one and if I did I would resent it which is why I would get rid of it." believe it or not, ISN'T an answer.

Silly people, carpenters make homes

I think I've said about ten times around Billy, that if I had a child I would NOT keep it.

Even if I got pregnant and I really didn't want that child I wouldn't murder it, I'd put it up for adoption. They're pleanty of people willing to raise that child.

Beth, I love you.

Billy, leave Jez alone. I'm completely dense when it comes to women, and even I could tell that Jez has absolutely made up her mind, is taking every step available to make sure that she doesn't have to face the kind of situations you're suggesting. *goes smackity with the giantness of the troutamajigger thingy--LAVIN!*

your post is a day late and a dollar short.

Oh no! Posting on a thread a day late? What is a poor forum to do?

And, uh, by a day late, he meant ... a month!
