I am definitely finding this thread interesting.
I am 27, have been married for 6 years and am child free
We have not had the desire to have children yet, and I don't know if we will. I am so focused on myself right now, teaching full time, finishing up my Master's and thinking about my Doctorate that I could not imagine having a child right now.
It is very sad to me when women have children young and do not get a chance to figure out who they are first. I know a lot of women my age who got married young, had babies and are now divorced single mothers without an education. I think it is important for people to do what they need for themselves before they start bringing others into this world.
My husband jokes that we are waiting until we are ready and for the 'perfect time' to have kids and that never happens for anyone. We joke that we are going to wake up one day at 50 and realize we forgot to have children
I wish more people realize how big a decision having children is and would think more about it before committing to it.
Has anyone here seen Idiocracy? lol
