I could take it or leave it. If I found myself suddenly and surprisingly preggers with Ratbastid's love child, I'd go ahead and have the kid.
I like kids. Other people's kids.
I'm far too stressed/selfish/anxious as it is, and I can't see deliberately adding a child to this mix. I think I'd be a fine parent but it's not something I feel as a life's calling. Add to that some genetic issues (I'm a carrier for a nasty x-linked recessive disorder) and the fact that pregnancy totally grosses me out, and I think I'm happy with 2 cats a dog and a husband. If I want someone to take care of me in my old age I'll befriend youngsters and buy long-term care insurance, thank you very much.
P.S. The two phrases that I've given Ratbastid to throw at me if I ever get moony over having kids:
"mucus plug"
"college tuition"
'nuff said.
