[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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. Y[b]ou 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.[/b] [/quote]

This is not true if you 1) have only one kid, 2) decide, in advance, that you will make heavy use of outside child care, and 3) have money.

I didn't want kids and my husband did. I thought about why I didn't want them, and realized 95% of the reason were all of the things I assumed moms had to do all day every day. We agreed to throw money at all of it, and I loved having a child so much we had more.[/quote]

So you had a kid and let everyone else raise it? Good parenting! [/quote]

Nope. But I work part time and have full time housekeeping/child care help. Basically, DH and I both get a SAHM and get to spend the time with our kids doing what we like, and lot less of the all day, every day slog.[/quote]
