No Baby
Last week, I received the following text message from my brother...
Usually, I'd laugh something like that off. I couldn't do that this time. It offended me a bit. I know that my brother's intentions weren't to upset me, but I was a bit unnerved by the text.
Why? Well...I'm not married. I don't plan on having children until I have a husband.
I'm single. Though I wouldn't mind a child around to keep to me company, I'm not ready to have a child just yet. I don't want to raise a child alone.
I want to buck what seems to be a trend of single motherhood. I'm not willing to compromise everything I believe just to combat my loneliness. I mean babies are cute and all, but you still have to feed, change and waste your money on them. I'm too selfish for that. You can't send your child home, if he gets on your nerves. If I get lonely, I'll call a friend.
My mother asks me questions about children too. She says, "When are you going to make me a grandmother?" My mother is a faithful church lady. Geez...One would think that my mother would be more interested in getting me married than giving me a baby.
In due time I suppose. Until then, I'll keep holding out for a husband. I'm single. I'm 28. I'm still a virgin. I'm a walking time-bomb. God be with me.
