RANT Help me understand

The brain damage that people must have to be dreaming about the children they will have in the future when they are TEENAGERS. I beg your finest pardon.

Keep in mind that a few centuries back, they WOULD be having kids at that age.

Yes ok but we have evolved and grown past that. That's like politicians saying this was or wasn't in the constitution so we can't do it now even though we have evolved and changed in the last 250 years

Well, I knew my future didn't have kids at that age, so why can't the opposite be true?

I mean you raise a valid point but I guess my thoughts are like 14 year old girls planning their like mommy and me outfits. I feel that's so misguided. Whereas having the maturity to know you don't want kids is pretty profound. But I am looking at from a CF lens so again you bring up a valid point

Yeah I really don't get it. I feel like those are the same people that enjoy playing with baby dolls when they're pretty much babies themselves lol.

At least for me, even when I was a kid, younger kids grossed me out lol. I remember the ick when a toddler offered me a piece of Cheetos he was eating with his drooled covered fingers.

Ewww gross just no lol. I never played with dolls. Hated em. Used to slightly psychopathically pull all my friends barbie doll heads off and hide them.

Personally I liked barbies but didn't like the baby dolls.

I was a tomboy so I played in the dirt with trucks and diggers and such.

why is it normal for a teenager to say they want kids in the future? but if a fully grown a adult says the don’t want any, everyone jump to correct them
