Okay, here’s a tricky one….how does everyone feel about children??
From what I’ve seen at my SP support group, we seem much less likely to have them. Apart from the difficulties in meeting an appropriate partner, I wonder if SP makes up ‘reluctant’ to reproduce. One of my fears would be passing SP on to a child…..just couldn’t bear to think of doing that….especially the way the world is today…less tolerance for anyone with 'issues'.
I have a number of other reasons why I probably won’t have any. It makes me a bit sad sometimes, but I think that having kids is such a BIG responsibility that I would need to be really sure.
I’m sure my SP is also a big part of this. I’m frightened of other people’s kids, let alone having my own 24/7! Even though I can talk quite well to adults now, I freeze up around mini people…
Anyway, how does everyone feel about children? Do you plan to have/not have any? Does SP make you reluctant or fearful of the consequences if you do? I reckon this is a huge issue…
