[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two year old twins.  [b]We didn't decide on having children until we had been together a LOOONG time.  We were both ambivalent about it as we a pretty happy life together.  However, we slowly came to a point where we decided we were ready for a different kind of life, so we took the risk, knowing there was a chance it might wreck the pretty sweet thing we had going.  [/b]

6 weeks in, we were sure we'd ruined our lives forever....all newborns are hard, twins are harder, and ours were really really really hard.   But by 6 months we agreed that this was the best decision we'd ever made and we still say it to each other all the time.  It is a ton of work and our lives have changed more profoundly than we could have anticipated.  For example, we go out alone together and with friends A LOT less, but the surprising part is that I don't think either of use really resent it because we actually really like hanging out with our kids. And the experience has, of course, changed our relationship, but getting to see each other parent, we've told each other many times, has really deepened our love for each other.

As is evidenced by this threat, OP, people have widely varying experiences with the transition to parenthood, but for me, next to finding the love of my life, getting to be the mommy of these two kids is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

+1. We do not have twins, but this was us too.

OP, you can have a wonderful, fulfilled life without kid(s). You can have a wonderful, fulfilled life with kid(s). One isn't objectively better than the other, they're just different.[/quote]
