[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the "I always wanted them" folks:

But *why* did you want them? For what reason? I like kids too, I'm good with them, and have a strong maternal personality. But I don't want kids. Can those of you who say "because I always wanted them" elaborate on this? [/quote]

I wanted to experience the same joy my parents got from raising 7 kids. It was constant chaos and broken bones but they both loved the circus like atmosphere. They both loved teaching and nurturing. As we got older, got married and had kids the pride they took in our and their accomplishments was wonderful to behold. They sacrificed a ton for all of us but thoroughly loved their empty nester years. But, even then their favorite days were the ones they spent with their children and grandchildren. Why would I not want to experience that.....but only with three....I'm not nuts! On Christmas Eve as they gather at our house...with our grandchildren....I feel very blessed.

If you have to rationalize having kids you may be better off not having them. And there is nothing wrong with that. [/quote]
