I don’t know why people define themselves by how they felt when they were younger. If you start wanting to have kids, that’s great - you’re not a traitor some past version of you. If you don’t want to have kids, you don’t win a prize for consistency.
We all do our best with where we are. Be open to change - don’t let past thoughts or outside pressure push/stop you. :)

The prize is no kids. 😂
You can love your nephew and niece and still not want children of your own, definitely not mutually exclusive. The difference is you get to hand back your nephew and niece to your sibling and go home to a great night of uninterrupted sleep and a peaceful home.
What is panicking you about potentially wanting children?
Chief
Wait until they start screaming, crying, shitting, etc.
and then all of the above in public.
And then remember how well you sleep (and the fact you sleep in).
And the money - oh the money you’ll save.
I think you’ll stick to your guns.

Think about this - you love your niece and nephew because ultimately when you don't want to deal with them, you can give them back. Hard to do that with your own kid.
Chief
Exactly. I love my siblings kids. Wouldn’t want to live with them though.

I love dogs , but still don’t want one of my own because of the work involved . That may change one day

Kids are overrated. My niece and nephew are my kids lol. I spoil them and go on home.
Respect the decision not to have kids, but not sure how you doge the biological/psychological urge to continue your DNA line. Obviously there is much more that goes into the decision emotionally/practically, but that underpins it I have to believe.
Personally it’s very unnerving to know me/my families bloodline could end with me.
Enthusiast
That’s assuming everyone feels a “psychological urge” to reproduce.

You'll be fine. I have zero interest in having my own kids, but absolutely adore my niece and nephew. I love spending time with them. My nephew is 4 (he's the older of the two) and I have yet to have any urges to have kids of my own 😊

And... it begins 😜

Nephews and nieces are awesome
Don’t let bitter child free people convince you not to change your mind. Listen to yourself. If you decide you want them, awesome. If not, great. I’m glad you’re feeling fulfilled by your relationship with your niblings!
Rising Star
I just remind myself how expensive kids are and how I absolutely cannot afford them and that usually does the trick.
Chief
Yessss

You should love children regardless of if you want them!! And evolutionarily, they're like meant to trigger a nurture and protection impulse in adults- this is why we build societies around rearing kids. And it takes a while community to even raise kids properly. Loving your role in that community doesn't mean you need kids of your own. No need to conflate loving watching kids grow up with wanting to have them yourself
I don’t want kids either, which has sadly led to the end of some great relationships. But I stand by what I want. I love my niece and nephew but after a couple hours with them I am always ready to return them haha
If you are on the fence about having kids, then don’t have kids. If you just kind of want kids, then don’t have kids. You really really really should want to have kids in order to decide to have kids. They wreck your life and the only upside is that you really really really wanted them.
Chief
I love my nieces and nephew but they get on my dang nerve. I just drop them off when they start annoying me. Beauty of being an aunt 🥰
