Babies!!

[phoenixredux]

Seems like I'm surrounded by pregnant people and fresh new babies. My co-worker's wife is two days past due, and there's a lot of Baby Rabies going around. So I think it's time for a poll. Sorry if this triggers issues for anybody, I'm not trying to bring you down. Tell me to fuck off in the comments if you'd like. For the rest of you, please tell

My first job was as a child care aid. That cured me of ever wanting young kids. When I was older, I was an adult leader in the BSA. That cured me of ever wanting teen age children.

I married a woman with two children, that's enough for me. They came house broken and are now old enough to do dishes and mow the lawn. It's a wonderful life.

Child care aid? Wow. My first job was as an usher in a movie theater. Coincidentally, however, it also cured me of ever wanting teenage children.

My first job was working at a place very similar to Chucky Cheese, so one would think that would cure me from ever wanting kids...but I had a blast doing that job. Guess it goes to show that when the time comes, I'll probably be good at it. But I'm in no rush. Perfectly fine with playing with other people's babies until that point.

Whoa, I just stumbled into this whole topic, having no idea that you were experiencing Baby Rabies (never heard that term 'til now! Heh!), but my .02 is that the past two years of babysitting and church childcare have INSURED that I have no desire for kids of my own, had that ever even been in question...which it hadn't. I have never felt a biological clock, a wistful uterus, the clenching of a covetous ovary, nothing. I like other people's kids for brief periods of time. I like them best when they are not excreting anything and when they are saying cute, precocious things. Even then -- cute and sans excretion -- I lose interest after 6 hours (don't tell the families I sit for).

I <3 Garfunkel and Oates. I would totally impregnate them both.

Aren't they awesome? :)

You don't have a "don't want kids" option anywhere in the poll.

I'm sorry, did you want a scientific, accurate poll too? I'm going to blame it on my acute baby rabies.

You know, babies can't scream with swords down their throats. Just sayin'. ;)

Oh, and you want the "I'm immune to Baby Rabies. I've had my shots, and won't breed" option.

Pregnancy and babies are fine for everyone else but me. I'm no childfree hardcore person, they just ain't my cuppa.
