The only thing I have ever wanted was a house full of screaming brats

The moment I got pregnant I was estactic! ...and now that my daughter is 10months I want to have another... In February we plan on trying again

I wanted to have a total of 6 all my life, however I'm only able to have 3 now (C-Sections)... and odd numbers scare me, so I'll only have one more.

Having a baby after wanting one all your life is the greastest thing that that can happen... however...

I'm still young and want to go out sometimes but I can't because I have to stay home with a baby, or find a babysitter. Usually my father fills in for me, but still kinda feel guilty for leaving my baby sometimes. And knowing that I can't go out just because I feel like it is hard too.

I can understand how many people don't want kids... but I'd never trade my daughter in for anything. I don't mind not going out all the time, and I love dressing her up and don't mind changing diapers, I already have money plans for school and medical... this is my dream.

I know someone who got pregnant by accident and had an abortion when she was younger. She quickly got her tubes tied so that wouldn't happen again. She is now in her early 40's. She says that she loves kids, and though sometimes she feels sad that she never had any of her own, she really doesn't think she could commit to being a parent. When she feels down about never having her own kids, she volunteers in different countries working with kids (that's how we met) and after a month of that she is happy again that she never devoted her whole life to parenting. She has her own bussiness and travels often, she has nice house and I think I remember her saying she had a large dog. That was always her dream.

I think that if someone should really want kids before they have them. It would be hard if you resented your child for not being able to go out with the girls, for example. Kids pick up on that kind of thing.

Dream about where you want your life to go. When your 50 years old, where do you see yourself? Do kids fit into all your life plans?

Either way, you shouldn't feel bad for not wanting them, and keeping an open mind is a good idea, and day dream about your life often... even if you don't ever think your dreams will come true, it helps to figure out what you may or may not want.
