[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what did you end up doing?  why? and did you regret that decision?

I go back and forth a lot - its never been an intense longing for me but certainly seems very tempting some times.  My husband LOVES kids but travels a lot for work so understands it'd largely be on me and will support what every decision I make.  I'd love to hear what others decided when they didn't feel a strong or clear drive one way or the other[/quote]

Haven't you made this thread before?  Not attacking.  Just wondering if you're the one in consulting with the husband who also has a hectic job.[/quote]

Nope not me though I'll look for that one[/quote]

OP here again - actually I think I read that one also.  She was concerned about giving up lifestyle I think - I'm not really worried about that, we're already in a family friendly neighborhood, mainly socialize very locally with people that have kids, have disposable income so we wouldn't have to "sacrifice" material wise, etc.   Other than the day to day work of a kid (which I'm not minimizing) our overall "lifestyle" wouldn't change that much.

I guess that's what I'm going back and forth on, when I'm pretty happy with life today and don't feel an achy longing for a child but do like the idea of having the type of experiences PPs have described and do worry that I'd regret NOT doing it, how do I get over the hump one way or the other?  How likely is it I'll have those experiences / feelings that get you through the day to day if I'm not the type who feels "of course I'll have kids!"

Not surprisingly sounds mixed responses. some people went for it and love it.  Others sound like they kind of regret it.  Others didn't go for it and so far no one has said they've regretted missing out but also don't describe their lives as full of the joys the happy parents describe.  So its a high beta move to have them
