[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You truly truly truly dont know what love is til you're a parent[/quote] I have 3 kids and completely disagree. I even consider such statements offensive. OP, Only you will know if having kids is "worth it" to you. Some people were put on Earth to love and contribute in other ways that are as valid and deep and meaningful as parenting. The physical -- assuming you survive childbirth -- is nothing compared to the mental, physical, and emotional toll of mothering. Mothering means losing autonomy and sensual freedom and the chance to maximize professional and personal fulfillment in your physical prime. If you are not a giving person you will find it draining but, as many PPs have pointed out, the love you have for your children is tremendous. I believe that most people feel this love more than compensates for the losses.[/quote]
