I want children, but I know now is not the time. My desire to have kids has been strong for a long, long time, but I want to have a foundation in place before I do have them. My plan is to wait until I'm at least 30--which would be 6 years from now.
As for children being selfish--I would say that some people are just as selfish in their reasons not to have children. Most children aren't selfish--they're very giving and loving. But like us, they all have their points where they don't want to share.
What most people find funny is that I have spent a lot of time working around children--as a babysitter through high school, a nanny during summers, doing daycare work, and now as a nanny again--and I still love kids. I still want my own. I've had to clean up pee, puke, and poop, but it hasn't changed anything. I still want to have my own.
