The older I get and the more I experience, the more I've realized that I'm just not suited for the parent role. I hardly have patience for the undisciplined, spoiled brats that I see at work every day. Hell, I hardly have patience for grown adults. I've taken to nurturing the loves of my life, but I couldn't care for something entirely helpless without worrying that I'm somehow moulding them into a bad person or something.
Furthermore I feel it's more responsible to not risk having a kid who's blind (it runs in both of us) or very sick, especially knowing that I'd never be able to afford the essential care for a healthy pregnancy or anything like that. Kids just don't suit up with my life.
(And they really, really freak me out.)

But really,if you don't want children, nowadays you don't have to get one and I think it's great.
