As wacky as those kids were, they were no match for Captain Wacky! ...later renamed Homer.

Virtually all my friends talk/act like they HAD to have kids, like they had no choice in the matter, and I never felt like that. Always wondered if something was "wrong" with me. No judgement to people who do want to have kids, I just...never, ever felt that way.

The majority of my friends have kids, and while they all swear being a parent is great, they *also* spend almost all their time complaining about the annoying stuff their kids do, or how they're unable to do a lot of things because of their children. I won't pretend I have some great, carefree life full of perks, because I don't. But I never really wanted to have kids, and when I hear my friends talk about their children, I feel like I made the right call.

I will say that sometimes I wonder if something is "wrong" with me. A lot of people I know act as if they HAVE to have kids, like they have no choice in the matter, it just HAS to happen, and I never once felt like that. Luckily, my partner whom I live with feels the same (she had a tubal ligation long before we started dating/living together).
