That...You know, you have plenty of time to decide. That said, having experienced both not having children and having children, it is my opinion that having kids is ultimately better **when you are ready**. Even the hard days (like today... ugh) are worth it. Of course, it could be that I feel that way now because Chaela is alseep and Will is holding Joci... ha ha.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09610208332113861702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7535369060577979748.post-43502968479454216502010-08-25T14:53:14.088-07:002010-08-25T14:53:14.088-07:00I totally get where you're coming from.

As someone who is overindulging in the selfish side of life lately, I can honestly say that I think about children in the not-too-distant future but want to have fun in the now, before children strip me of a lot of my independence. That being said: motherhood is NOT for everyone and that's perfectly okay! But it sounds as though you definitely are entertaining the idea: perhaps you just recognize that now is just not the time :)mypixiebloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09135461083810124483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7535369060577979748.post-21390195404117919502010-08-24T04:27:41.932-07:002010-08-24T04:27:41.932-07:00I've always thought I'd wake up one day an...I've always thought I'd wake up one day and want a kid - just like my mom did. I never have. I feel the same as you. I'm even more selfish because my motivation is just not to be alone when I'm old and to have a family. Seeing babies doesn't make me want one. I just want the adult children later. I know you'll figure it out.paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11771871442051868808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7535369060577979748.post-8504291283972579102010-08-23T11:42:32.641-07:002010-08-23T11:42:32.641-07:00I hear ya!

I don't want more than like 2 or 3, but still. The gift of life is a huge sacrifice, but worth it in my opinion. :)<br /><br />You have plenty of time!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08710512948479683834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7535369060577979748.post-35799295542345536872010-08-23T07:34:33.469-07:002010-08-23T07:34:33.469-07:00OH my GOSH!
