I will not take over for someone no matter who it is because they are too fucking lazy or whaever! I DON'T want kids, plain and simple, it is my life and I work to damn hard to deal with others problems, yes even if it is family! One other reason I don't have kids is because I am a single guy that lives very comfortably on my salary, just the GF and I, but could I take on and raise 3 kids and then be financially stable no fucking way. One maybe. So still not fair to the kids! I am not traditional, I am my own man. I do what is right for me first, others second, maybe selfish but at the end of the day you can only help yourself first! So yes that may sound shallow to some but I refuse to take my life off its course for others stupidity no matter how close they are. What about my dreams, goals, etc.....?
I didn't mean to make it sound like my nieces don't have clothes or shelter or food. They go to school, they live in a house, its actually not a bad place if my sister and her man weren't such slobs. They have transportation, toys, etc.....but its the future that worries me and not just theirs, my sisters.
Se-Alum I do understand what you are saying and yes again I said what I am saying may sound shallow but that is how I have chosen to live my life. I don't give into others. I chose not to have kids and its just that damn simple. Now would the circumstances change say if my sister (god forbid I am not this mad) died or something tragic happened well absolutley. But until that happens I will continue to stuff it down their throats until they do what is right!
I understand, we're just on completely opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to this subject. I'm just the kind of person that would take on the sacrifices if I thought it would make a better life for a loved one. I can't stand the thought of being happy, if someone I love is suffering. You can't always make things better, but you can always try.
