Yea, I used to feel the same way as Emily, until I hit 30, then I think some hormones hit me like a mack truck! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> I have a dog AND a hobby... but it just isn't the same.

I haven't read the rest of the responses yet just an FYI

I don't plan on having children. I always wanted babies and lots of them up until last year. Then I realized my health was too bad to have kids. Also I am very selfish and want to see my babies go to college and have my grandbabies and I KNOW it won't happen. Because of this I have decided to not have children. I struggle with my choice but I know it is the best thing for me. I want to live as long as I can and be here for my family and I can't do that if I need to take care of a baby. I have a hard enough time keeping myself healthy w/o one LOL. Also I am terrified of what my illness may do to my child. I HATE what my family and friends go through now so for me, bringing a baby into this world and making them deal with me would destroy me mentally. I just couldn't do that to them.

I admire anyone who has CF who is a parent. I know I couldn't do it so I respect those that can.

I don't think we are failures for not wanting to have kids. I know many adults over 50 who never wanted kids and had very filling lives. And still do. I plan on spoiling the crap out of my brother's kids and my friends kids.

It is a personal decsion that needs be made and NOT taken lightly IMO.

I thought you might like to read an article I wrote called "Leave, Cleave...Conceive?" It's about our reasons for not having children.
