I'm 31, single, professional and I really, really don't want to have kids. Everybody, but everybody says that I will change my mind, but that I mustn't do it too late.
The thought of having a baby in the next 5 years is like a death sentence. That means I have only 5 years to meet my travelling, career, personal and financial goals. Then its 20 years of looking after someone elses life instead of living my own.
'They' say that it is irresponsible to have babies after 35 (birth defects, fertility problems), but un-thinkable to get ones tubes tied if you haven't had kids.
'They' also say that I will love my child and will never regret having it and will never miss losing out on my career, travel, sleeping in etc.
How do I make this decision? Is it really now or never?
