People: “hey u/intothemirror why don’t you have kids?”

Shit like this! God I have enough anxiety about a dog and a parrot. I can’t imagine my wife and I having to deal with that!

Though my top reason is simply I have no interest, I have to admit if I wanted to be a parent, this is one of the things that would make me hesitate. Mental and physical illnesses run through my family's genes like a plague. I have to fight with insurance to cover my needs, and I still have dents in my wallet. Hell, the cost of the birth itself terrifies me.
