cato Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Asexual, yes. Do very much want children. I have no idea how that'd work out if I'm single, though... kids are expensive, both in terms of time and in money. I don't know how single parents juggle it, at all. I guess you figure it out because you have to, but still. I don't think many people prefer it that way. It's hard. Link to post Share on other sites

Yep to all of that!! I only 'prefer' being a single parent right now because our lives would be literal hell if their father was still in the picture. BUT if their father was a stable, kind, hard-working, caring person then obviously we would all prefer him to be in the picture!!! ..And yes you don't really have a choice other than 'figuring it out' somehow when it comes to being a single parent ...Well, unless you're wealthy and can afford a lot of fancy help. Which I admit I definitely think both myself AND the kids would like that from time to time, hah. Link to post Share on other sites
Rontz Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 As an Aspie Asexual, as in an Asexual who is diagnosed with AssBurgers 😜 (Asperger’s), I do want kids, but not of my own genetic descent: I don’t want them to suffer the social heck I have been through, and the chances they’ll have this diagnosis, or at least anxiety issues like mine and my mother’s (yup, it’s a family thing), are very high. Plus I am afraid of physically getting pregnant - not just the “sex thing”, but the 9 months of misery that I’ll have to overcome. AND the birth itself. Again, the anxiety will make it not worth living for me. To summarize, I want to adopt. So many women who have accidentally got pregnant (abortion, America!) and/or abandoned their babies... Too bad not to give them a second chance. Link to post Share on other sites
