To clarify, this is NOT an anti-vax post. I can understand how the title may be misleading.

I am currently 18 years old, lesbian, and I already have my mind set on the idea that I don't want to have kids of my own. (Translation: I don't want to screw my own kids over with my cursed genetics.)

Because of this, my mother's side of the family will consider me as the 'black sheep', and will attempt to convince to change my mind.

I have explained on multiple occasions that I don't want my future children to have to go through the same or worse mental issues that I already go through. Nor do I want them to have the possibilities of cancer, addiction, or nervous system issues. Overall, I don't want my kids going through the same or worse hereditary problems that I'm already facing.

Here's a conversation that I've had to go through with just my mother about this.

Mom - "You know I want some grandkids sometime in my lifetime."

Me - "Yes, and if I have kids, they'll most likely be adopted."

Mom - "You don't want to have kids of your own?"

Me - "No."

Mom - "Why?"

Me - "Because I don't want to curse them with my genes."

Mom - "You're not going to carry on the family bloodline? Well... will you at least carry on the family name?"

Me - "Maybe."

Mom - "What do you mean 'maybe'?"

Me - "Meaning, I might not have that name by the time I get around to having kids."

Mom - "What? How?"

Me - "I might change my name when I... IF I ever get married. Or I might legally change my name later in life."

Mom - "NO! YOU HAVE TO KEEP THE FAMILY NAME! DO YOU REALIZE HOW DISAPPOINTED YOUR GRANDFATHER WILL BE IF YOU DIDN'T CARRY ON THE FAMILY NAME?!"

Me - "Um... more reason to change it."

Mom - "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE TO CARRY ON THE FAMILY NAME!"

Me - "Actually... can't your aunt's kid do that too? They can do that if it means so much. I'm not willing to breed just to carry on a family name that holds standards that I don't agree with."

And that's when I ended the conversation.

But, am I the asshole for making such a choice? I know I made that choice early in life, but I'd personally rather be safe than sorry.

I'd like to know y'alls thoughts on the matter.
