Did that get your attention?

Here's the thing...I don't have kids but I'm not sure if I want to.  Is that strange?  I think it is a little 'cause I love being around other people's kids.  I noticed that this morning when I was out on my story...kids were planting plants for earth day.  All the kids ran over to me and gave me a big hug...they were so sweet and just as cute as they wanted to be.  I LOVED it...so why don't I have the desire to have my own?  I've come to the conclusion I'm just wierd..everyone tells me that my feeling will change...WHEN? 

I have a little cousin Jordan that I am MAD for...Jojo has to be the cutest kid on the planet and I am jjust overjoyed when I am around him...I can't get enough, but when i think of having my own Jojo...I break out in hives...oh boy just thinking about it makes me crazy...go ahead sound  off..can't wait to hear what you have to say.

HOLLA!

Your not wierd. Other peoples kids are great, because you can send them home when you want to, you don't have to clean thier noses or thier puke when they're sick. Some people just don't want to have children. I love children also, and I do want them when I'm ready.

It is a HUGE responsability. Espeacially when you have a carrer. I see my co-worker who has 2 children, often feel guilty for not being home more.

This a.m. you said you weren't feeling well, hope you fell better!

Hey Nischelle!! first of all I LOVE U!!! u are amazing. I have two litte girls a 4 yr old and a 6month old and I have to say that i felt the same way before I had my girls. I thought that I would never have children. Just even thinking about changing diapers and having to be up all night when they are babies just really killed the idea. I had my first child after I was married for three years, I waited because I wanted to be ready when I became a mommy. I think that, that was the best choice for me because now I sit and think about the time when I didn't want any children and to see my girls and smile and my 4yr old tell me she loves me, it,s just priceless. To think that I would of never had the opportunity to see that unless I would of changes my decision, which I am glad I did. So for you I think that you are just not ready and believe me your thought will change once you find the right person to be with and you decide to spend the rest of your life with them. Children are a blessing and believe me it's not EASY especially when you have a baby after 4 yrs of not changing diapers and fedding etc. It is hard but God gets you through it and in the end it's all worth it.

nischelle,
i coach a little league baseball team,i get so much enjoyment watching the kids get excited especially when one of them does somethng special,but you are right. the novelty can wear off.most parents take thier kids to seriously.when i ask the kids what they love most about baseball, they say"playing with thier friends".
i still feel like a kid-
my mom always said "you can change the things youdo ,but you can never change that child thats in everyone of us". r.i.p.

I feel the exact same way. I love my niece and nephews to death but I don't want children. For the people telling you that your mind will change, it may or it may not. We're all built and programmed differently, not all of us want or will ever want children. The world is over populated as it is, we won't be doing the world a disservice not having any children! Right? Anyway, I feel you 100%. No kids for me, love'em but not for me.

hi nischelle, lots of women decide not have to have kids. kids are expensive and many kids cause their parents much grief. of course, if you have a baby some day, or adopt, you'd probably be a good role model and yours would be an angel.

Nischelle I say not to worry; things have a way of working out.

My last marriage where the females are all BS Degreed and ("Abusive") never wanted children! Might have been because her mother drove her father to suicide in front of her and her older 6 year brother!

Once she was married to a good Italian man (Whom President Bush Decorated for Bravery in a hush hush ceremony in DC) it took him a year but she is now a happy mom!

I have not talked to any of them in what 7 years now but I am sure things are well.

I missed a detail (HA on me) my ex's daughter. My ex took great pleasure in letting me know just how much she hated the thought of having my babies with their abortions rubbed in my face to piss me off so I might give her the "reaction(s)" she had been working on. hey I am off topic but that is what your topic takes me to.

Babies I only have one from my 18th year of life. and this country and its "Educated" made sure I had no more. See I do not use my education as a weapon, only for good.

Not like that abusive and manipulator in Colorado that does not approve of the Truth but demands two faces one the truth the other Politically correct face which is not the truth.

well your not alone nischelle. mark calloway (aka the undertaker) and i both feel the same way. "kids are great, but just not my thing". too much responsibility that i don't want, and let's face it they are cute, but can also be very bratty. actually the more i look at most kids, the more bratty they seem to be. they only love ya when they want something, and hate you when you say no. well that's what i notice about kids. but no, not all of them are like that. i say continue with your life, career, and just have fun.

april--thanks I'm feeling much better today...I felt so yucky yesterday...I guess we all have those days. I'm not sure what you're talking about with chimp guy...I never saw any posts...if they were that bad the moderator must have taken them off. I don't worry about things like that people, especially on the web where they can be anonymous, can be really stupid. my other would love you because everyday she tells me I want grandkids...you're feeling will change I swear..well I'm 33 and it hasn't happened yet...

charlottoe--thank you

doug-i feel like i'm a kid too.

00lux--are you a guy or girl cause it seems like men feel this way a lot more than wpomen...is it cause men don't have to go through carrying the child and birthing? probably. :)

marv--kids are expensive! it's crazy how much it costs to raise a kid...my mom always says, "you owe me 497,000 dollars...now pay up!"

astro--huh?

samo--i feel you



vmendoza--thanks for being such a loyal viewer....

Hey Nischelle,

The Biggo CEE sendin you luv! A woman has the right to change her mind whenever she chooses... But if Moms tellin you she wants kids uuuumm,you may have some adjustments to make! LOL Anyway with other peoples kids,you can always take them home! But i do hear that,it will change your heart.Because your always considering your kid! But look whose talking,i have none of my own personally! But when i get with my god kids,they happy to cee me. I have a set of darling twins,that luv me endlessly. In the event something was to ever happen to their mom,I would gladly take them in.... But on the flip side,if your not ready for kids,then go get a beautiful lil puppy that you can watch grow up! And keep in mind,you have to walk that dog,and take him to the vet,to get groom ect.! Only thing bout the pup,in the middle of the night,he won't cry for a bottle!! LOL... That's if you don't have one already.Some people like cats,maybe you wanna consider either of the three,baby,dog or cat! lol take care..

I'm a guy. It's not about not having to carry the child though. I've made life decisions (career wise) to where I won't have a lot of time to be in one place all the time. Children deserve stability and lots of attention, both of which I can't provide.

Nischelle, first let me tell you just how much I love you and your work. I have a 21-year old niece Ebony, whom you remind me so much of, who use to say the same ole line.
I will confess I even said the same thing, back in my younger days.

I just think that's the single woman in you speaking out.

Beleive me being a mother of three beautiful and healthy boys, I'm glad those thoughts changes. But that had a lot to do with meeting my husband 12-years ago.

Nichelle, when you meet the man of your dreams, you will think and feel differently about wanting to have kids. Ask my girl Jillian.

"Holla back when you find him!"

Keep up the good work!!!!!

Nishelle I feel the same way. I am 33 years old and have no kids either. So easy to get up and go. Having a child is so much you have to give up as an adult. Being selfish has plenty to do with it aswell.

You and I are on the same page with this issue. I am single with no kids and am not sure if I want them. Don't get me wrong, I like kidz. I have two nieces (10 & 12 y/o) and a nephew (9 y/o), and have plenty of friends with children - love 'em to death! The issue is, I like my life and where it's headed and I'm just not sure if kids would fit in.
