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.

My SO and I have decided the same thing. Not that I don't love kids, it's just that...well, we're selfish. We want to be able to pick up one day and go on a romantic weekend getaway without worrying about baby sitters and sleeping arrangements and missing Susie's soccer game and Timmy's football match...We want to have all the money we make to ourselves. We want to be able to pull each others clothes off in the middle of the living room at 4 in the afternoon if we feel like it. Kids do not factor into ANY of those ideas for our future.
