I don't really understand why it's so hard for people to grasp something so simple, but several people in my life (as well as an endless stream of complete strangers) can't seem to understand that I don't want kids.
Really, it's very simple. I don't want kids. What's something you don't want? Let's say - a broken arm. I would imagine that most people don't want a broken arm. So when you say things like:
"You just don't know what life really is until you have kids."
"I hope that you change your mind and have kids anyway."
"Accidents happen."
I want to say things like:
"You just don't know what life is like until you have a broken arm."
"I hope you break your arm anyways."
"Accidents happen."
