Am I the only person in this guild that want's kids some day???
Nope, now there are 2 of us...
I'm used to being in the minority populace in everything I do...
Why not now?
I will say to Eviloverqueen though, if you did change your mind down the road, I assure you, I will hold these posts against you...haha. But, really we never TRULY know what the future holds. I <3 you nevertheless.
Yes, I am a stupid, stupid future breeder. I have no issues with the fact that I want to impart my genes upon a small, unsuspecting creature. No one is perfect, we all have "genetic deficiencies" of some kind. They may vary from suicidal, homicidal, psychopathic, schizophrenic, OCD, ADHD, anxious, nervous, stressed, even such things that a large part of the medical community consider socially deviant, being gay, or transsexual, etc. The list can go on and on and on...and pretty much any emotion you feel that isn't happy, and peaceful is deemed a "genetic deficiency" by some doctor or another. Do physical "genetic deficiencies" make one incapable of being a good parent as well? Such as any genetic disability, a couple of examples; being blind, deaf, or dyslexic etc? I could go on and on about all of this, really. But none of this is not going to stop me from having wee ones, to do the best I possibly can by. I guess I have my own reasons. Wanting to prove to myself, and remaining family members, but mostly myself, that I will be the first one in a long time in my family to kick the bad habits of child abuse and neglect, along with alcoholism and drug use to the curb, or never start the habits to begin with, for the sake of raising a potentially healthy, open minded, and decently balanced child into adulthood. Maybe that makes me more crazy than I already am...but I'm willing to try. Maybe I'll start a pattern? And if nothing else, I will have shown myself that I don't have to be a product of my upbringing, or of the things in my genetic makeup that would lead most people or doctors to think people, like me, with "genetic deficiencies", can't be good parents. Anything is possible, always. Enmasse thoughts of who should and can breed, and who can't, can potentially lead to governing bodies deciding that fate for us...that is a very sickening thought. So for me, I know that this is a choice we each must make, an educated and heartfelt choice.
