I just realized something...

[conuly]

For somebody who doesn't want kids, I sure do read a lot of stuff about childcare.

No, I don't know why.

Well, at least I'll be well-prepared if I ever go nuts, right?

Well I think it's possible to like kids a lot without desiring your own. Besides, it will help your skills as an aunt. :-)

Oh, I love kids, don't have a problem with that - but I just spent the past half hour reading about "elimination communication", and I think the "twins" are a little old for that.

I know what you mean. I'm married but articles about dating and singles, still hold a sick fascination for me.

Dating and singles?

Those articles scare me to death.

I've just figured Seth/Ana are a wild perseveration of yours. (Which I admit is a little confusing in somebody that doesn't want to raise kids.)

Well, they're my family, that's different, but I honestly have been fascinated by childcare information since... well, sicne I was a child.

And I don't want kids.

I don't get it.

Perseveration is definitely the right word, it's just a kinda pointless perseveration.

Luckily for me, I've long since given up the belief that there's any useless information, so the worst thing that comes from this fascination is a curiosity: why do I want to know this?

I've actually always found certain aspects fascinating as well, just not the same ones. In my case, it was the educational/psychological/developmental/medical angle, and I knew early on that I wanted to teach in some capacity.

Maybe it's a function of knowing instinctively from an early age that we're "different" and thus having a need to search for reasons why?

*shrugs* Maybe.

It's just weird.

Wow, when you go nuts, you get pregnant?
News to me.
Sorry, just had to mess with that. :)

[conuly]

No, when *I* go nuts, I *adopt*.

I'm never going to be that crazy that I get pregnant, ew!
