[quote=Anonymous]I don't know if this qualifies as ambivalent, but I have never really liked kids and I knew I would never be a person that had kids if I didn't meet the right person (single parent by choice).  I also always thought that if I didn't have them, I'd be fine.

For me, part of having them is creating these people with the person you love and having the experience of raising them with the person you love.  As silly as it might sound, it's kind of the ultimate thing to have in common with your spouse.  We trade stories about them and laugh about them (in a nice way, most of the time).  I don't know, in some ways it's really hard on your marriage and in other ways, it's the ultimate, unbreakable bond.  As in, holy crap look what we did together!

Would day to day life be way easier without them?  Yes, definitely.  Would day to day life be less rich and full without them?  Yes, definitely.  I can go from the purest love to complete frustration to simple joy to utter exhaustion, all in one day.  Heck, in one afternoon.  It's highs and lows and once you're on the ride, you can't get off.[/quote]
