[quote=Anonymous]I had a kid because I got pregnant, and because "pro-choice" to me means just that. But I'd always wanted children in the abstract. I like kids - always have. I find them funny and interesting and cute. I thought I would have cool kids and enjoy raising them. For the most part, the reality has been pretty good. My kid is smart and funny and interesting and I get to see parts of myself in her, and parts of her dad. I chafe sometimes at the lack of independence and freedom. I might have been better off having a child when I was younger, before I got so set in my child-free ways. I don't want my child to be responsible for me in my old age, and I worry that as an only child of a single mom, that she will be. I'm scared for the teen years, but enjoy watching her grow up.[/quote]
