I seem to feel as though sometimes having kids is something that people do even regardless of really wanting to or not. A strong part of me doesn't but there is a part of me that is telling me to have them anyway.

I have a six year old nephew who has ADHD and autism and I seem to find myself getting annoyed whenever he these meltdowns or tantrums where sometimes he has to be restrained and we can't work out why it happens. I don't know if it's overstimulation or something.

Even though he is six, I still struggle to deal with having nephew, he can be annoying sometimes and sometimes I feel bad because I seem to lack interest in wanting to interact with him. I don't know that because I don't have kids I don't understand the situation until I do. I am also well aware that their is a slight chance my kids will be autistic or have ADHD like my nephew even though there is no guarantee.
