thanks for your advice, i now decided NOT having a child, i think the ''unconditional love'' i felt for this kid will not be worth all the ''pain'' i have to go thru, and loss of freedom, so i will stay single and enjoy the only life i have. Thanks again

I love my child. If I didn't I couldn't do everything I do. I get maybe 5 hours of sleep at night (that's up from the 3 I got the first year). I'm constantly doing laundry, cleaning, shopping, and working. The only time I have to myself is the couple of hours I sometimes get after he goes to sleep. (I usually end up here.) Some days I feel like I will never have a life again. My body will NEVER be the same, no matter how much I diet and exercise. That said, I'd do it all again for my precious little boy who sometimes stops wrecking my house long enough to hold his arms up for me to hold him and then showers me with kisses.

SOME freedom is gone but your life will change (for the better, I think) Your life won't end with a child it will get better. although it may not seem it at first... Full time work may be very hard but i know mothers who do it... Traveling is possible but remember all the stuff you gotta pack:) Dirtbiking probably won't be an option for the baby till older but you could get a sitter for an outing. The housework will increase although you might not have time to do it. I do think a family is wonderful tho... And Marriage... feel free to e-mail me

OOKKKKKK....now that we've covered the downside, consider this. Yes, most, if not all of the above is true, but I can almost promise you the following: Until you have a kid, you'll never know the purest form of unconditional love, and you'll have never laughed harder than you will as you watch them grow and discover their individual personalities. I have a 3 & 4 yr. old, and I swear not a day goes by that they don't do something that, at the very least, puts a smile on my face. Usually, it's the things that my wife gets the most upset about that makes me laugh the hardest (but she's uptight)

yes of course it will change. but you don't have to stop doing the things you love doing. you can work around all of that. your partner could look after bub while you ride ur motorbike...you can still travel, but you just have little more to worry about. bringing a child into the world is the best thing i have ever done...it opens your mind and eyes up to things you would have never seen or taken notice of before.
good luck. when you are ready you will know.

you dont go anywhere you cant take the baby... no traveling for some time, (there wont be money for that anyway), and no dirtbiking... it is a HUGE life altering change

One of the biggest shocks in your life is how much your life will change, freedom is gone
