Not everyone wants kids, if you don't want them don't have any...and your family should respect that...my family was like you...they wanted me to go to college, have fun, travel, than have kids..well you have to have money to travel
...and my grandmother always told me, if you wait until you are financially able to have kids, you'll never have them...cause by the time you are financially able...you'll be to old...and in a way she was right.
I always wanted kids, even when I was a kid...so DH & I married right out of high school...We didn't want to go to college...I had the first of our 3, at 19...I don't regret it at all...yes it was tough at times financially but they didn't go without...and yes, I felt we missed out on alot at the time.
All my kids are grown now, living on there own. I've had a empty nest 3 yrs now and I'm 46...hubby & I are financially able to send our kids to college...still young enough to do all things we want to do, travel...hanging out with our friends, having fun...life is good
...I feel I made the right decision...wouldn't change a thing.
Do what feels right for you...if kids are not for you right now, if ever, don't have them...cause in the end, its your life and your choice...and trust me, your family will still love you!!
