They told me I'd change my mind about not wanting kids when I got older. I'm still waiting for it to change.

As someone who didn’t want kids and then had them later in life, your mind doesn’t really change until after you have them. That’s when I was like Oh

At least that’s what it was like for me. Plenty of people’s minds never change even after kids sadly.

Seems unwise to take that risk. What if I don't change my mind?

[–] emogu@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Absolutely. Definitely not recommending chancing something like that haha. Just saying you might never change your mind and that’s ok. But also if a kid came into your life somehow, don’t panic! It might be ok
