When people say the when you meet the right man thing I do often consider telling them I'm a lesbian just to shut them up with their stupid assumptions

I might have to start saying that, just to be a contrarian. I wonder what kind of nasty reactions I'd get? And the likelyhood that they'd BE nasty, just goes to show how inappropriate the original statement was in the first place.Quote:

I def want kids, I would like 4 lol
I didn't want kids and that didn't change throughout my life. My brother always said he wouldn't want kids but changed his mind and now I have 2 nephews and a niece. All we can really say is "Not at the moment"Quote:

However, I'm not very keen on other people's children. I'm not sure why that is, though.
Edit: oops I didn't realize this thread was so old! I hope it's ok that I posted here. :)
It's fine, it's an ongoing topic anyway :)Quote:

^ This.
Other peoples children annoy me to no end, especially when theyre jumping all over my furniture and generally being disrespectful!
I generally really like kids - I'd be pretty sh*t at my job if I didn't! I'm pretty good with babies and can usually give a nervous mother back a happy or sound asleep baby haha. I find I'm more annoyed by parents than children, I've worked in some situations where we've had "difficult" kids from SS and the likes and some of the "parenting" going on is atrocious. No wonder your 2 and 3 year olds are running over the top of you when they've had a packet of sweets, a chocolate bar and fizzy juice before they even get to us at 9am!
I'm constantly being told I'm great with kids - my mum's always wanted me to go into childcare. Little ones, I love! But like... 4-5+, I just can't.
