Feart n Tired 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 on Nostr: childfree, not just because I never had the chance, I actively did not want children ...

childfree, not just because I never had the chance, I actively did not want children since I was old enough to find out where they came from. I don't like babies and small children. or dogs. unless quiet, well behaved, and as you say Nina, firmly in charge of their handler. Even then 1 would be a lot. 2 would be pushing it and a whole gathering worth and I'd be noping out the door as fast as I could arrange transport. All the things, the disgust over bodily fluids and mess with food, the noise, the fact that you can't talk to them and get a response. the toddlers are less likely to bite you, and they'll grow out of some/most of it, but nope.

And I can't cope with anyone or anything for 4hours plus!

you are not defective. I am. But that's not why. I support the mad mum's like Penelope, someone has to raise the next generation, and do it right. All power. Now make them do that over there please.
