Weeeelll, I know I'm a little young to answer this...
I plan on going to school, getting married and having kids, within the next 10-12 years. As long as my kids are at home, I'll be at home too. If it won't work financially, I won't have kids. Sweetpea mentioned a certain shocked reaction at her saying she doesn't want to have kids, I get the same one when I tell people I want to be a stay at home mom. "What a waste." I find it sad that being a stay at home mom is considered a waste to some, whereas I see it as the best thing for a child.
Anyways, enough of that rambling. Children are brought into this world facing bullies, war, evil, choices, etc. The last thing they need is the added burden of "completing" their mother. Families are far from traditional nowadays, so why should having 2.4 kids, a mom, a dad, a dog and a picket fence be what a woman needs to feel complete? I won't need children in the future to feel complete, I won't need a husband to feel complete. I've done the work it takes to make myself complete with or without the things I want.
I know my boyfriend's looking at this pale in the face saying NO BABABABAIES!
hehe jk
