I was reading down through this post and it is nice to know that I am not alone. I thought that I wanted kids when I was younger. However, now I am set in my ways and we don't live around any family. I say that I am selfish because I don't want to have to share my time, money, and husband. But actually I am not selfish because I don't want to have to resent a child. I think my family has accepted that I will most likely never pop out a child. The fact that my 3 cousins each have 4 and I have none is a huge indication. Plus, the fact that I call them pint-sized monsters and asked my cousin's 4 month old baby why he was crying. I passed him along after about 30 seconds. I like kids and all, I am a teacher and I work with them daily. However, it is nice to leave them for the night. When you have your own child you never have a break. Plus, my step-daughter is 15 and I really don't think that I can go through these teenage years with another child.
I will never say never, but most likely I will not. Yet, I wonder if I will regret it when it is too late. I guess I am still torn between the decision. Of course my doctor is going to stop prescribing birth control in about 2 years (he says that smoking and the pill is not good for a 30 year old). So, at that time who knows...
