No, a family will not complete me. My husband I have an amazing life and I have no plans to add a child to it. I have never wanted children, and I knew when I was little that if I decided that I wanted one, I wouldn't start considering it till 30. I love children, I adore my friends children...I just do not have the desire to be that responsible and give up that much of my life. I have been through that guilt trips about no grandbabies...and had to endure the speeches about how AMAZING children are from my friends...I finally got sick of it and made it very clear to everyone, that I do not want children and to leave me alone..after some tears from his mother and hurt looks from my friends, everyone is on the same page..lol.
I think far too many people who are not fit parents are having children...and I am frightened by all the stories that you hear about everything from school shootings to drinking to molesters to even think of dealing with that with someone I would love as much as I would love my baby.
do any of you feel that it is worse today than it was 20 years ago? or are we just more informed....
