I’m not gonna lie, babies are expensive. My bot and I can’t afford to pay some bills and rent most of the time. And two weeks out of the month we don’t eat(she nurses so she doesn’t really go hungry). But to me I love just knowing that I’m not so infertile as I was told I was. She’s our miracle baby. Been still having unprotected sex for the last year and I’m pretty sure I’m not having more kids after this. And looking at her beautiful smiling face just makes our day so much better.
I wouldn’t suggest having kids in this economy. It’s hard and people now are just doing it for the free money they get from the county making it hard for people like us who need it to get our money or a job. People are still selfish enough to have their welfare babies. They don’t even take care of their kids. They use the counties money and child support to but their ratchet ass clothes and their Prada.

I love this post, and you are so right about it all! My sister has a kid and she tells me all the time how nice it would be to go shopping for something for her self and not for the kid, that is part of the reason right there that I do not want kids.

Sorry for this late response, Vonnie, but your comment was accidentally marked as spam. Akismet FAIL. Anywho… your little cousin is SOOOO cute!! Look at those eyes! *swoons* Yeah, I could see why you’d pick her over the purse. I’d pick my cupcake over the shoes too. After I fussed, of course.

But shoes are just so beautiful. And they don’t need diaper changes. LOL

oh, i thought this post was about not wanting kids at all in lieu of shoes, lol… it’s actually pretty ridiculous but i entertained it anyway. not saying your kids will look out for u when you’re old, decrepit but the shoe guys (manolo, louboutin, etc) damn sure won’t. their kids, however, will be basking in the proceeds from such over-priced ‘gems’.

needless to say, everyone has their priorities and, of course, they have a tendency to change over time.

hmmm, my childless cousin and i were talking about this very topic the other day. she credited the fact that she’s self-centered, not selfish, as the reason she doesn’t want any children. conversely, i seek validation thru my child-rearing skills. smh..always something.

My birth control: SLEEP! ….and school. As an undergrad Elementary Education major & aunt to two, I’m around enough kids on a daily basis.

I’ve always said that I will have children either by the grace of God or if my HUSBAND wants kids.

I wipe enough noses & eyes, fix enough accidents, deal with enough sad stories to know I am NOT ready to start a family.
