Children...eh part 2

There are certain people that I just want to swat away like bugs when they get in my face about children. Take note people, the more you bug me about children, the more it's not going to happen.

Children...eh

My mom almost bled to death when I was born. She told me this about four years ago when my anemia started to act up again. I most likely also got her anemia genes. So if I am my mother's daughter, I'm thinking that there's probably a chance that I'll also experience some sort of blood-related endangerment if I have a child.

What's my view on childbirth? Younger children have been in my life for years, having been one of the oldest in my extended family. I was the designated babysitter most of my adolescent life. Now that I'm older, I have my fair share of god children, nieces and nephews, whom I love dearly and take every opportunity I have to spoil them. However, I've never felt the impending need or want to have a child of my own. If it happens, I'll deal with it but I've never actively wanted the experience of child-rearing. So I guess that's my view. If it does happen, I hope that my version of "dealing" plays out in a more nurturing kind of way.
