[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I married late in life and have no desire to have children. DH has children from previous marriage. When other women learn that I dyes them to have children, they immediately launch into sermons about how I need to give my husband a child, having children is so rewarding, etc. I don't understand why so many women do this. What is so wonderful about having children that women feel the need to convince me to have them?[/quote]

Like any part of life, each person and couple feels differently.  I believe that children are a gift from God and I love my kids and wanted kids from a young age - but I would never tell another couple that they MUST have children or a wife MUST give her husband a child!!  The decisions you and your husband make are yours - if you're both happy and enjoying your marriage and life then just ignore those busybodies!  Nod and smile and thank them for their advice "I'll take it under consideration" serves me well when I have gotten advice about how to raise my special needs children :-)[/quote]
