[quote=Anonymous]I adamantly did not want children, and then changed my mind reluctantly at age 33. I wasn't excited about having one, but it felt like something I would regret not doing and my spouse wanted to do it. I agreed to have one but no more. My daughter is now 6 and having her is the best decision I have ever made. It's not easier than I expected (at all) but it's joyful and worthwhile and just enriches my life and the world in ways I didn't expect. I wish I had started having kids younger and picked a different career that was more family-friendly (and maybe picked a different spouse who was more of a responsible adult) so that I could have 2 or 3 or even 4 kids. I am currently 39 and dithering over whether to TTC a second. The dithering is 100% logistics and worries about my health and my marriage, not a lack of desire for kids. I even daydream about twins although I know that's crazy to want for all kinds of reasons. [/quote]
