-- I guess it's not so much that I don't want kids - I just never want to get pregnant and I never want to deal with babies. I've never liked the thought of either. I've considered adopting a child or even getting a surrogate mother (though I'd only do this if I had a nanny to take care of diaper changes lol) but even with these, I feel like I may be seen as odd, or like I'm missing out on a part of being a woman. I get that not every woman can have kids, but I'm CHOOSING not to. I'm even hoping to get my tubes tied if my insurance can cover it with some recent health issues that have sprung up. 

-- Am I thinking too much in to this? I just don't wanna grow old in to the crone phase and feel like I've missed out on one-third of my life as a woman. My teacher says it's fine, but I feel like he can't really relate completely (being a male and all). I'd like to hear what my sisters think about this?
