Do you think having a baby would complete you?

Would you feel 'empty' if you didn't have (or adopt) a child?

I've heard this mentioned so many times . . . i'm getting into my mid-20's when some women are thinking about starting their families in a couple years, and many women have told me they would never feel complete if they didn't have a child one day. I think that society plays a role in this supposed need and perhaps genetics do as well?

I don't want children, nor do i think they would complete me or my life. And most women i share this information with, stare at me in shock and then shake their heads as if something is wrong with me.
I love children and i do the occasional nanny job with glee, i enjoy being around children . . . however, i don't want any of my own.

How do YOU feel about children?
Do you have to have one to complete your life??

please share your thoughts, observations and opinions

Thanks!
