[quote=Anonymous]16:27 here - one last thing.  I know a lot of women who are unhappy because they wanted kids and haven't been able (for whatever reason) to have them.  But having a baby isn't a great solution to unhappiness because it fills one hole, while creating holes to fill elsewhere.  Your once awesome career becomes more stressful because work-life balance can be really hard to achieve.  Your marriage takes a downturn because you're both too tired to be nice about issues that you can normally push under the rug.  Your health/body will be harder to maintain, and for a lot of women, that can be really hard.  You may not have time for hobbies that currently give you joy.  Your friendships may get strained if your friends ARE in the same place you are (and nobody has time to hang out) or if they AREN'T in the same place you are (if they don't get what you're going through.

So you'll have one problem solved, but you'll create deficits in about 4 other areas, and you may find yourself less happy and you'll feel weird about  it, because having a baby was supposed to make you happy, right?  And does that mean you don't love your kid enough?  (it doesn't.)[/quote]
