Motherhood isn't the goal for every woman

I'm 40 years old. And I don't have children. Guess what, I don't want any. People often ask me, why don't you have kids? I smile and keep it moving, but I'm going to go ahead and let you nosy mofos know what I've kept my womb empty all of the years. 1. I'm the youngest in my family. My first nephew came when I was in the seventh grade. A cute little boy who I promptly dropped when he was about six months old. Oops. Also, the first person to ever piss on me. That was 1989. Then, in 1991 came my second nephew. When he was born he had a cone head. I was scared. But, his grandmothers knew what to do to round his head out. I dropped him as well. He also pissed on me. 2. I make bad relationship choices. We're not even going to talk about the dude who got married on me while sending me roses and confessing his love. Fuck him today, tomorrow and forever. What if I had gotten pregnant with his child? 3. My father's children are all married, except me.
