[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not make a decision this important based on your experience as a nanny. Are there other reasons that you have decided you don’t want children?[/quote]

Op here. I’ve have most of my exposure to children through my nanny experience. It’s such a life altering decision and commitment. When I was a nanny, I found myself becoming bored and just disliked the job. I’ve experienced first hand what having a kid did for these families. While they loved it, they endured sleepless nights, hours of crying kids, toddlers with tantrums, breastfeeding issues, body issues, etc., that no doubt put a strain on their relationship. Most suffer intimacy intimacy issues, and I’m a very sexual being, and enjoy frequent sex. You have to give up almost all of your time to your kids and can’t do simple things like just get up and go to dinner, take a spontaneous trip somewhere for a weekend, have xtra spending money.

That's also a timing issue.  I had my kids late, and had plenty of time for spontaneous living.   It just became less important to me as I got older.  I did not have much experience with kids before having my own.  I did very little babysitting and had no interest in it.  But it is different with my own kids.  I'm still not a "pinterest" type mom, nor am I particularly playful, but I am engaged with them and couldn't imagine a life without them.  [/quote]
