I didn't read all the ohter posts, but for me, I will not have kids. Not that I don't love kids or even have urges at times to have a baby. But I know that's just not right for me and I'm only 1/2 of the decision.
My husband is 18 years older than me and has 5 kids. That works out great because I once dated a guy who wanted to marry me and when I asked about the kid issue he blew it off like 'fine whatever.' Well I wasn't sure that one day he wouldn't change his mind, want kids and leave me. So when I met my now husband, he was kind of hesitant to tell me he had so many kids, where I on the other hand, was fine with that. He doesn't want more kids, we can have the kids around if we want (they are all grown) and now we have 2 grandkids. So it's pretty much perfect. All of our needs are met and I can still live the life I life without having a baby needing me.
Plus I really love my lifestyle of doing what I want when I want. I know, self centered, but I am happy this way.
Kids are precious but I know I don't have the energy to take care of any. I do a little happy dance each month when I get my period! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
