From Someone Who Might Have More Animals Than Kids

No, I don't hate kids, I just like animals more.

From Someone Who Might Have More Animals Than Kids

No, I don't hate kids. I just prefer animals. Yes, I would like kids. Maybe one, two, no more than that. I just choose to not have a lot of kids. I think about how many animals I'll have, though.

I believe some people want to have a lot of kids and don't like pets. Some people like both a lot. This does not make me mean person, nor a person who does not want a family. I am a very family oriented human being. When we were younger, our teachers would ask us, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Of course, we had those few peoples who said, "A mom." I can understand that, but I do not choose to only do that all my life.

In a sense, I think animals can be easier to take care of. They are most definitely cheaper than children. I have always thought about how many animals I wanted and how I'll be a good Mommy to all my cats. I will probably end up being a crazy cat lady with no children. My husband will have to deal with my love for animals. He will have to deal with my constant desire to spoil my animals.

Twins run in my family and I'm honestly terrified of just that, two kids at once? This could be one reason why I will probably want to wait and wait until I am absolutely positive that I want a child. I think having a kid to continue my family line, would be very nice, but I do not think about it as much as animals. There is just so many pets that do not have homes. This could be why I am so happy with adoption.

Do not hate my decision to not have a desire of having children. I could be saving us from another over population. Maybe I will have kids, maybe I won't. I am going to be a mommy of many animals, though. Animals deserve a lot of care also. Call me crazy, but I am going to have more animals than kids.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
