Children are a huge amount of responsibility and will change your life and your lifestyle, for the better or for the worse is entirely up to you.
Children are what you make them... and what you raise them to be.
I think most every woman hears their biological clock ticking at some point, the older we get the louder it sometimes ticks... you can snooze it if you want... but you dont want to snooze so often that you've missed your chance.
Only you can answer the question whether or not you want children, or are ready for children... But it's gotta be a decision that's made together.. your journal entry lists a bunch of reasons for and against... and that's fine, but it's a lot of thinking and overthinking... what if's will drive you crazy... don't be afraid of what tomorrow might bring - be like Scarlett - think about tomorrow - tomorrow...
you have to ask yourself... Are you ready to be a mother and father? And do you really want to be a mother and father?

I like that first paragraph. It will be what you decide it will be.
At this point in time, I'm a firm believer in Babies Kill Dreams. Why? Because right now I have certain goals that if a baby were to come around, it would seriously deter me from achieving those goals and dreams.
I don't think that anyone is every ready to be a parent. They think they are ready, but challenges arise that one never realized or planned.
Really, it's more a choice of willing to take the challenge of being a parent, whatever may happen in that challenge.
