Did I?
GeekySub said:I didn't have best friends as a little kid..not until I was almost a teenager. And adopting a teenager is definately something I might one day consider.
But if there was another little kid who had behavior similar to yours, would you have befriended them?
I infer that from this comment:
GeekySub said:From the first day of Pre-k, I had a very strong aversion towards the other children. They freaked me out. They were loud, they giggled, they made high pitched noises, they ran about and jumped up and down on things and just really bothered me. I avoided them at all costs and spent my recess times hanging out with my teachers. In elementary school, I would sit in the bathroom and read on my lunch break because I didn't want to be around the other kids.
This didn't change for me until I was about 12, and by then I was able to find kids my age who were also quiet and calm and whose company I enjoyed.
I'm not going to go into the psychology of why you would feel this way about children, because something tells me you've already thought about it plenty and would find it patronizing.
All I'm saying is that I think getting your tubes tied at 24 is a big mistake. In 10 years you'll be a totally different person, and if having a child suddenly becomes important to you, you won't have any options then.
Is it so hard to use birth control in the mean time? Do you have ethical problems with terminating the pregnancy if one should slip by?
