[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why wouldn’t you want to have at least one child?[/quote]

Huge repsonsility and major life change, less focus on my career, lack of sleep, strain it puts on many marriages, worry of caring for another human life, etc. I’ve always been very nurturing but I don’t know if I have what it takes to be a mom. I feel a child will be more of a career ender than a gift at this point. I may change my mind, but the thought of having children right now is very overwhelming and dreadful. [/quote]

Kids right now wouldn’t be a good idea, agreed. Friends who are doctors have kids and their careers are good, with nanny or grandparent help. It sounds like you see mainly the negative and work aspects of having a child but don’t have dreams of happy experiences you would have, the joys of a family, giving a grandchild to your parents, passing on family traditions, contributing to the next generation, seeing the world through fresh eyes, making new friends, and growing. Maybe your own childhood was less happy than some. Or maybe you have brothers and sisters who already have had lots of kids. No reason to pressure yourself to have a child if you don’t imagine it bringing any rewards at all and being just unpleasant work. No one can deny it is a lot of work.[/quote]
