I just wanted to start a shout-out (well...sort of) on here. My fiance and I have decided that we will probably never have kids--unless something comes up and we both change are minds...we want to stay open minded about it. Actually, it's more like me staying open-minded. He really just doesn't want to have kids. I want to hear from those of you who chose to have kids even after not wanting them and the benefits you've found from doing so...and the negative. I also want to hear from those who never had kids and how they feel about their situation. And of course, if all you who always wanted kids and had them want to share your opinion, I'd love to hear it. Anyway, I would appreciate replies! I've always been curious on the subject and would like to hear from people who have made similar decisions.
