[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actions speak louder than words. People who are ready to have children and who really want children don't wait to have children. Sounds like your sister likes her life as it is more than she likes the prospect of children, or she's having marital, financial or medical issues you're not aware of and the "I want to enjoy my marriage first" is just her letting you know that she can't have children at the moment without telling you the reason.[/quote]

I've come to accept that this is true for most. I've known some women who lamented the fact that they had infertility issues when they finally tried to conceive; claimed they had no idea it would be so difficult to have children later in life; and claimed they needed a certain amount of financial security and house space before kids... but after years of knowing them, I think they really preferred to live their childless life first.

At 16, I knew I wanted to be a parent. I had my first kid at 25, while rather poor, and made a lot of sacrifices to be a parent, because it was my priority in life. Now in my 40s with teens and young adults (and not poor anymore), I do not regret it. I love being a parent.
