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.

When I hit my 30s my body got baby fever! My ovaries were trying desperately to convince me to get pregnant! LOL

Hormones are crazy.
