Depends on the person, I thought I had a wonderful life before my son was born, but I was wrong. Having a child changed me for the better (he is now 11). I can honestly say that I look back over my life and I know that my life would not have been on the same path as it is now. My son made me work harder and strive to be a better person and mother and especially b/c I am a single mother. Looking at him each day gave me the strength to get up everyday and go to school full time and work for time, having to solely provided for him has made me stronger and although his father is around he doesn't take care of him, but it okay, b/c I am bless to have graduated from college, own my owe home and car. And honestly I owe it all to God and my son b/c they are the ones that I live for, they are the ones who give me the strength that I need everyday.

I could go either way with that answer. I have two grown children. I wouldn't want to imagine life without them. If I had to do it all over again I don't know if I would.
My girlfriend is over 30 and she wants to start having children. She likes doing things, spur of the moment. Fishing, trips with her husband, dancing, etc. I remind her once she has children that's over for a long time.
Yet, having a child that you've carried inside you, nurtured and watched grow up is a feeling like no other.
Sorry no definite answer.

Well for me without. The amazing thing is that I find is so many people are jealous because not having children has allowed me so much freedom. I am able to move to any state I choose, go on vacation any time I please, come and go with no one to answer too. (Not having children has also given me the extra money to do these things.) I don't have to worry about if my child is okay, if he is in good hands with the babysitter, if he or she is doing good in school, I don't have to take care of anyone. and for those who don't understand this, those of us that do not want children, we do not enjoy listening to your children scream, yell, and cry for your attention. I haven't figured how some one can ignore these gifts from GOD. No I don't want any children, but I do not want to see them, ignored, hurt, go hungry, or abused in any way.

each situation is different I did better without I am bi polar and knew I had no patience and was afraid I could abuse so i decided not to have any I see others enjoy a family but it is hard work and expensive and a style you have to enjoy
All of it would have been hard for me. I never earned much and I cant drive. I have a real problem tolerating the noise of kids and I dont go to anyplace to eat that cateers to them I like to go out to expensive downtown place after 8pm.
I love my home and my collections and would be quite uoset if anything was broken or damaged.
I made a good choice for me

def w/o kids!!!! omg kids just hold you back from everything!!!!!
When I want to do something or go on a roadtrip, my bf and I go. We've been together for 6 years and have no desire to raise kids!!
When you have kids you either become a :
keep up with the jones' mom
yoga/soccor mom
run down
under appreciated
money strapped
regretting everything you wanted to do and never got to
secretly wishing you didn't, then feeling guilty that you think that . .

with children definitely.
first of all children act as a bond between the parents.
secondly children never ever let u get bored ... every moment in life is gonna be fun.
but yes ... dont be in a hurry to have children after marriage ... take ur time ... enjoy ur honeymoon period for 2-3 years ... and then as d romance starts to fade ... have a child ... it would most definitely bring back lots of love and romance in ur life

I thought life was wonderful without children it was just my husband and I. Then the greatest thing in the world happened to us.... Our wonderful little girl came along and made our lives even better.

For me, it's better with children. But everyone has to make their own choices. Isn't it a great thing that we can!
