[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. You 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. [/quote] What you are describing is really only the early years. Maybe five, versus a lifetime of being a parent.[/quote] What she described isn’t everyone either. 3 kids and we have sex daily. Didn’t wait 6 weeks :shock: and we parent how we want so that meant sleep training early and tolerated zero tantrums. Being a nanny and being a parent is not related. It is your job, as a nanny, to “parent” how the parents want. Regardless, don’t have children because you sound dramatic and like you stereotype every relationship. [/quote] Yeah, you won’t deal with toddler tantrums if you “don’t tolerate them”. Gimme a break, PP. parenting can be a roller coaster ride; you never know what the temperament of you your kid will be and how it will mesh with yours. It can be hard, hard, hard. But it’s also so wonderful, too. If you’re sure that you don’t want kids, OP, and he’s sure that he does want them, them there’s no compromise; you need to break up.[/quote]
