Disability and the logistics that go with it aside, I simply don't have the patience to be a parent.

I'm perfectly content being an uncle since I can hand the children back to their parents once they get on my nerves.You shouldn't let disability stop you! Go talk to some parents with disabilities. It sure as hell isn't stopping me ! Come hell or high water I will have a mini me! Besides there's always IVF if your swimmers can't quite manage I'm not sure sure if your bladder issues mean reproductive issues too. I don't have a weenie! And the poop and pee doesn't really matter when they're your gremlins.
Well, like I said, I don't have the patience to be a parent. At all. I get frustrated and increasingly short with my niece and nephew after about an hour or so worth of a visit. Kids just aren't for me.
EDIT: I've never wanted kids. Even as a child, other kids annoyed me. I don't really have any paternal instincts. I mean, I love my niece and nephew, but I'm not especially drawn to them or anything. They're too high maintenance at their current ages for me to really enjoy being around them.
