<p>Parenthood is one of the most rewarding &#8220;hoods&#8221; to be part of and according to Laverne Cox, being a parent is the &#8220;most important job on the planet&#8221;. Despite the pros, Laverne recently shared she has no interest in playing that role in life.</p>
<p>The actress took to her Instagram account with a celebratory message to the people in her life who have become parents recently, and revealed that she never wants to be one.</p>
<p>&#8220;I see so many friends and colleagues becoming parents. I&#8217;m so happy for all of you,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;I&#8217;m even happier for me, ecstatic even that I am NOT becoming a parent ever, never ever. The thought brings me so much joy!&#8221;</p>
<p>She continued saying that she wants to focus on recreating a better childhood for herself, despite the enjoyment she has watching her loved ones become parents.</p>
<p>&#8220;Enjoy the most important job the planet, raising children. I&#8217;m enjoying watching you from a distance,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;I&#8217;m doing the work of reparenting my inner child. That&#8217;s more than enough work.&#8221;</p>
<p>Laverne has been pretty candid with fans about her childhood, and the work she&#8217;s done to overcome the struggles she faced. While speaking with Zac Posen in 2018, she said the biggest challenge she&#8217;s faced as an adult is truly embracing herself.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think a lot of it has been getting out of my own way,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Overcoming all of the doubts that I&#8217;ve created in my on mind. Internalizing a lot of the voices of the bullies who said I could never do this and that and being really, really hard on myself, and in the process, dimming the light that I&#8217;ve always had.&#8221;</p>
<p>Although Laverne said she does not want to have children of her own, we wish her well on this journey of nurturing her inner child.</p>
