Yinepu, large families are GREAT!! I was #4. I have 4 brothers and 2 sisters. I was a tomboy (still am)!!

My nickname is Bug! I was always bringing bugs into my bed, the home, etc. My Dad always called me Bug or Bugger. I wish I could hear him call me that again...

3 girls 4 boys in mine... I was the youngest.. so my parents were tired of raising kids when I came along.. instead of getting hugs and kisses i had a list of chores once I turned three.. and I got picked on by my other brothers and sisters and all their friends. So I had to find "creative" ways to get even while trying my best to avoid the switch and a tanned behind... (my avoidance skills were pretty poor.. so I got my share of whippings.. and also some of my older brother and sisters whippings since I was usually the closest target for my mother's aim)


*snickers*

I did earn a bunch though... I was always guilty of putting crickets, centipedes (we had the BIG ones), spiders, grasshoppers, toads.. the usual stuff in my sister's bed and dresser drawers.. the terrified screams were .. shall I say it... glorious!

and I set my nephew up to take the fall when I turned 72 toads loose in the dining room under the table when my mother had some of her prim and proper lady friends over for lunch ( I still got my rear-end beat for that one too.. but it was SOOO worth it!)








is it no wonder my parents and siblings wanted me dead?..............

and NOW do y'all see why I never wanted kids (or to reproduce with those genes in my bloodline)???

No offense taken! I have two beautiful children (grown up and on their own). I do much better with animals than I do kids.

People simply amaze me. Someone comes in with a newborn baby and everyone goes crazy over it. I just sit there and watch. Now if they would just bring in a new puppy, kitten, chick etc., I would be the first one there!!

Lisa

I would too. My animals are my kids. Boy do my dogs act like kids sometimes LoL. When our two girls were puppies, we moved right after we got them. Well we had to go somewhere for a few hours and the dogs are all inside dogs. We found out they have separation anxiety because they chewed up a few places on the walls of the new house.

They were so glad to see us. I don't leave the house much anyway unless there is a need for me too. I am a bit of a hermit. So they are almost always with someone anyway, that probably doesn't help that problem. But they don't chew on walls anymore, thank goodness, that was 3 years ago. I just love being out here with the animals and growing plants/garden. I wish we had a farm sometimes. Maybe one day in the near future, (crosses fingers for luck)

I prefer the feathered and furry ones too.. and ones with scales..

You pretty much have to talk to your OBGYN and see if you can convince them you are sane.. know for certain that you DO NOT want kids.. and all that. It IS a challenge.. so you may have better luck with a female doctor too.. some of them tend to "get it" before the male docs do...

most of the ones I found kept wanting to put it off.. telling me I would change my mind .. it took YEARS for me to find one who finally asked me "well.. if you knew you didn't want them why did you wait this long to get fixed?"

uhm... because the male doctors kept telling me NO.....
And for the record.. I'm in my 50's now with NO regrets.. some of us just have 0 maternal instincts when it comes to children... but have plenty when it comes to critters!


what can I say... I either got bored.. or creative.. either way I'm glad you could see the sick humor as it was intended!

There was also 7 of us in my immediate family.. 11 kids in my dad's and 13 in my moms...
so there were a lot of "horror" stories to go around!

I was even like that as a baby!
if someone brought a critter into the room.. didn't matter if it was a jar of spiders.. a frog.. or a puppy.. I would crawl over to it

but if they brought another baby or child into the room.. i would leave!


and sorry to say.. i have upset quite a few people when they would shove their new baby in my face expecting me to gush over it only to see me back up in horror...
those things just creep me out.. I'm not afraid of them.. but I don't want them touching me.. in my house or anywhere near me.. even the sound of children laughing and singing grates on my nerves like fingernails on a chalkboard

I'm just weird.. i admit it.. but at least I knew how I felt about kids and never had any to subject them to my ire.. granted kids are great for those people who WANT them AND will take care of them properly (i don't believe in abusing anything simply because it's just plain wrong in my mind).. but I just wasn't wired to be one of those people.


the sad thing is kids love me.. like cats to a cat hater.. they will do their best to climb on me or try to touch me.. and all the while I am trying to beat a hasty retreat...

I'll keep looking. I do keep getting male doctors. And with all my female problems you'd think they would want to take it out. But I kept getting that too. Are you sure you don't want any.....YES. I'm soon to be 31 and am still very glad I don't have human children. I am one of those not wired that way too.
I have always been a tomboy as well, loving the outdoors (even though I am allergic to them I can't stay away lol) and all the critters in it, except June bugs. I can't stand june bugs. I am so glad my chickens eat them.

for chickens eating bugs that we don't like.

I agree with Texas Lisa, she looks like an Elvira. Hehehe now I want to watch that movie. The pic is adorable. I love it when my babies do that. I hope my younger chicks pick up the habit. It is fun to clean the coops with a chicken sleeping on your shoulder.
I am about to head out for my morning romp with the chickens and ducks

Then I get to start baking some bread for some friends this weekend. I have some orders to fill LOL. If I had the means I have toyed with the idea for a bakery. A friend of mine is a genius with pastries and he can make some killer cakes and cheesecakes. yummy
