I've been an Early Childhood Educator for 22 years. I've spent all that time with babies and toddlers (0-2.5 years). But it was never "right" time in my life to have them. And I don't regret that. I commend all the parents who work hard to raise children during these tough times...and Valenie, don't worry your day will come, when your son needs you less and you have more time for you...and you will appreciate it so much more than many of us did when we were younger! I agree with the others...be sure of your own decision, do what is right for you and your partner, and try to explain to your family, that the right time will occur when it occurs for you.

Thanks!!! I tell my mom all the time that my 40's are going to be my glory years!!!
