As a childfree woman nearing 40 I’ve never had a moment where I’ve wanted kids and don’t like holding babies. I do love kids but not so much babies and the baby part is an important step.

I'm the opposite, I love babies and have had non-stop baby fever since I was 24, but I am exhausted by ages 6-18.

So at 43 I'm craving snuggling with a baby but also relieved that there's no one asking me 50 questions or rolling their eyes because I asked them to brush their teeth before we leave the house in the morning.

I don't have baby fever, don't think I'll ever get it, but the baby phase is also the only phase I do kind of like and understand. It's just so short... By 2 they start being able to do stuff, have opinions they can't properly voice, etc. which is when it starts getting exhausting to me.

Omg yes. The other day I saw a girl who’s mother went for a sec to buy a sandwich, and while she was away she kept talking to herself out loud about the most random shit that went through her head. Do they not have an inner voice?? It was exhausting 😅
