I don't have kids, and I'm scared to because I feel like everyone i know who has kids, or writes about having kids, seems to complain constantly about it. It just seems to suck.
Is it really that bad? Or does the good outweigh the bad? |

| It's really really hard. But the good absolutely, without a doubt, outweighs the bad. |

Having kids is wonderful. The amount of love you feel is more than you could possibly imagine.
Its also hard. It takes patience. Its not for everyone. Your life will change. You will change. If you're cool with that, do it. If not, don't. |

Most of my friends with kids love them but say they're jealous that DW & I don't have any.
My mother clearly felt that we ruined her life/career (she was a modern dancer with a famous company in NYC) even though she loved us and we loved her. |

| Having one isnt so hard most of the time. But then you realize how great kids are so you have. Then it's hard more of the time. |

It's amazing and transformed our lives in many wonderful ways. It's also really, really hard at times. But a lot of the best things in life are hard at times.

| No! I love my kids so much and cannot imagine life without them BUT it is a full time job filled with many turns and twists....some amazing highs and some real lows. But there is no doubt they show you what unconditional love really is and they make my life! |

| Sometimes it really sucks. Sometimes it's awesome. |

| It is an empirical question. Rather than ask on a website like this, you should look at the research. Unfortunately, that is pretty clear cut that people who have kids are happier than those that don't. |

Sorry, meant to say those that don't have kids are happier than those that do! |

It sucks more than people say.
But the good outweighs the bad for me. If you don't want to be a mom it might not be for you. |
