A 22-year-old woman, Lorella Palmer has explained why she vowed never to have kids.
Speaking to The Mirror, Palmer said kids have no common sense, they can’t drink, they have to go to bed early, they scream, they cry and they annoy her.
The lady from southeast London who admitted that she knows that some believe her decision is selfish, however claimed that she is happy with her life and doesn’t need children to feel fulfilled.
She said;
“Kids are just annoying, they annoy me, in every sense of the word. They have no common sense, they can’t drink, they have to go to bed early, they scream, they cry, they annoy me.
“Every time I see a child, they’ve just got crust round their nose and round their mouth, there’s drool, they’ve got food everywhere and they’ve got sticky fingers.
“They’re just living their best life, they’re being kids, but I just want to be wearing a cream dress and not worry! I don’t like that mess, stay away from me.
“I hate kids’ TV too. Your kid is one, they don’t need to watch cartoons – pop on Vampire Diaries please, or Gossip Girl, or Friends.
“We don’t need to watch kids’ TV, it’s boring. I just want to sit downstairs and chat with people without Cartoon Network on in the background the entire time.”
Other concerns that have promoted her decision are her figure and cash. Palmer added;
“Why would I want to push something out of my hoo-ha and expand my stomach and my cherries and everything else on me that’s just going to change?
“Kids are expensive. I know what it’s like to grow up quite poor and I’d rather go on holiday than pay for a kid.”
Luckily, Lorella’s boyfriend of four-and-a-half years, Callum Page, 23, shares her opinion.
Instead of having children, the couple plan to dedicate their lives to having fun, travelling the world and building successful businesses. While everyone in her life is supportive of her decision, she admits her dad is disappointed that he won’t get to have grandchildren.
Palmer said;
“I just don’t want to have kids. I’ve given all these reasons, but at the end of the day, saying you don’t want to have kids should be enough.
“My friends are supportive of my decision, but some have said to just give it time and I’ll change my mind. What if I don’t?
“I’m my dad’s only daughter, and he has said that he wants to be a granddad and I’m the only chance he’s got to have that.
“Having children would definitely be the lowest priority in my life. I don’t need children to feel fulfilled.”
She also accused people of not admitting that they are selfish sometimes. Palmer said;
“I think that a lot of people aren’t happy to admit that they are selfish, and then they have kids and do nothing but complain.
“When I say I’m selfish, I mean that I enjoy my own sleep, my own time and my own money, and kids take all of that away.
“Unless you’re willing to give that all away, because kids deserve everything if you decide to bring them onto the planet, you shouldn’t have them.
“I’m not prepared to give all my sleep, time and energy away, or my money.”
