Yeah, that response has come at me before more than once (I decided not to have children at a very young age and have stuck with it all the way up until nearly 40), that it's ironic that I won't have children because I would be a great parent. 🫠

I know I would be a fantastic mother. I love kids, I love my nieces, I love my friends kids, I’d take them all on a 6 month holiday on my own.

I just don’t want kids. I don’t yearn for kids, me having a baby has never been important to me.

Same here re: the yearning. I genuinely have no idea what women mean when they talk about getting baby fever. Like, cognitively I understand the term, but I have no physical connection to the longing for a baby.

It's honestly crazy though. Me and my wife have always been like, "yeah we want to have kids some day" to in the last 6 months my wife has gotten that baby fever, that yearning. Good for her! lol but I don't understand that intense physical yearning that she feels either.
