About choosing not to have children
It's almost been 1 year since we got married. People around me ask me about pregnancy and birth plans, but to be honest, I'm really worried about whether I should have children.
There are a few reasons.
First of all, I'm extremely anxious. There were times when I left feeling unwell for a while and was hospitalized. Since then, I've become very sensitive about my illness and my husband's illnesses and injuries. I'm worried even a little bit, and I look up the name of the disease and how to treat it. I feel like if I had children, I would probably think and worry about everything about them all day long.
Next is my husband.
My husband's hobby is collecting clothes and shoes, and he doesn't like anyone other than himself to touch not only his precious clothing, but also comics and game consoles. Once we have children, I think it will take time for them to understand what I said, and if I touch or break them, my husband will get angry even when dealing with children. I'm worried about that.
My husband and I also talked about choosing not to have children. At the beginning of our relationship, my husband talked about wanting children, but as we lived together, we experienced the difficulties of living alone and fights with me, and now he is reluctant to have children.
My parents aren't against not having children. They understand that this is a time that is different from our own, and that the future is uncertain.
However, I'm sure I'm envious that my friends and those around me have started raising children. Also, there are a lot of entertainments now, but as we get older, we wonder what we will live for entertainment, and whether there is a purpose in life other than raising children. Anyway, I'm worried about the future. I'm very uneasy about whether choosing not to have children is really a good choice for me.
Also, my husband is much older than me, so I think it's about 1.2 years until I think about giving birth.
As a result, thoughts like extra impatience come to mind.
I'm sorry for the long sentence. Thank you for taking the time to read this far.
We look forward to hearing from you.
