Do you have kids, do you want any?

I have Purple! He's the best son.

Joking aside, no I don't have human kids. I have a cat and I treat/love her like my child. I don't want to hear about how that's "not the same" because the deep love some people describe having for their kids, that IS how I feel about my cat. My love isn't worth less or not as valid just because it's for a pet and I hate that mindset.

I don't want kids as they make me extremely overstimulated and nervous. I don't know if it'd "change because it's my own" and I don't plan to ever find out, I'll be happy with just animals.
It's just too much responsibility I should not be trusted with, ever. I can -barely- take care of myself, being responsible for the emotional, mental and physical well-being of an entire human who'll depend on me for at least 18 years is just a huge nope for me, man.
Not to mention, a lot of illnesses (Both mental and physical.) run in my family, someone really puked in that gene pool and forgot to clean out the filter afterwards. If I were a horse, I would have been shot ages ago.
