Her drawing style is fantastic. Very retro '60s.
And YES. I'm still very, very happy that I didn't have kids.
total respect for Aunt Messy! I did not have my two boys until 37 & 40 Just had my first grandchild at 63 Your decision and no one else's :)
Agreed. This drawing style is pretty and probably it is funny, but only for mom. To be honest, I went nauseated. I am sooo happy to be childfree...
@Alice - Thankfully I've now aged out of all the verbal abuse we all catch when we don't have kids. People can be absolutely foul about it, even when it's none of their business. Now when someone starts to babble about it, I laugh a merry laugh and tell them I have to leave because it's the cocktail hour.
same same same same XD so very happy I don't have kids xD
I don't consider having children on my own either. I don't have enough sanity, patience and... Well whatever is required to be a parent. Plus, I really hate spending time with screaming kids. I prefer to take care of different pets. I might like it to be an aunt, though!
I feel like I want to enjoy my life, travelling, saving money for nice house and who knows if wanting a baby will come at all? Maybe if there would be a different situation and not finnishing a university at 24 and being dependent on saving money for nice acommodation thanks to demanding full time job...
Me too, LOL
Not having kids is not the message here,, every hard thing comes with great joy also,,, The joy of having fun with kids , n happiness that comes with watching them grow is something worth the pain we go through to raise kids,,,
I'm with you. No babies for me!
me too!
my mom called me a hypocrite and actually got offended :D
thats great and all aftab mansuri but, the topic here is not for hearing how rewarding raising kids are or watching them grow up is, it's about how we are all free to make our own choices and not get judged for it.
I dont think I will give birth and raise a child any more
So hell. This is pure hell? Yep, confirmation I'll never have a kid.
Literal hell!
@Alex Armstrong Same haha. literal hell!
