We had a miscarriage early on, and fear for our disappointment should it happen again, but moreover, we waited until we were in our mid-30's to even get married for the first time, let alone have kids. We love the idea that our life is our own... that we can travel at will when we have the chance... that if we are off together we never need consult a babysitter to have "our" time. It terrifies me that, even should I have a child tomorrow, that I would be in my 50's with a kid in junior high school! Heck, my parents are in their late 50's, early 60's now, and I'm nearing 40. I love my ADULT relationship with my own parents... I'm afraid I wouldn't make it to that point with my own kids. I love the idea of a child, but the reality is, I don't know if realistically- even though people do have kids every day at my age- if it is something that my wonderful, fun hubby and I should really do. Financially, I suppose we'd be fine, but are kids REALLY worth it? Should we have at least 1?
