[quote=Anonymous]I wanted no kids, but like a PP, married a man who really wanted kids, so I agreed to have 1. We now have 4, and I'm tired, but I love it. What got me over the hump was really talking about my fears. They mostly came down to not ever wanting to be the "default parent," or having to be the 24/7 caregiver. I am an introvert, and really can only take the constant chatter and neediness in small doses. If you have money to throw at the problems that come along with children, the children themselves are great. I strongly suggest that you start from a position of at least part time child care from the get-go, whether daycare, grandma, or nanny. Does that help you feel better about the idea, OP? I should also say we were older parents (I was 37 when we had our first), so I knew that I wasn't really going to be giving up traveling the world -- I wasn't doing that at the time.[/quote]
