Its important to do what YOU want to do and what feels right to YOU. Sure kids are great but some people just dont want to have them. To each their own. I dont understand why the people on one side of the line are so worried about the people on the otherside of the line. I say mind your own business (not you, them) and do what YOU want to do.

Children are wonderful, and for many people having children changes their lives for the better in ways they never could have imagined.
However, it is important to realize that even the most well behaved child is still going to require a lot of time, energy, emotional support, etc. If there is any question as to whether or not you are willing/able to provide this and be happy, I say don't have children. There are so many kids who are neglected in some way or another, and really no child wants to be resented by their parent.
It is important that you be really and truly honest with yourself. If you tend to be a bit selfish with your time, which is absolutely fine, I say refrain from children. If, however, you tend to be a giver and don't need a lot of personal time, maybe it is something you should consider.

If you want to have children, then have children. But I personally think there are too many starving infants and children out there that need parents. Too many people having babies and abonding them. It is important to reproduce for the sake of being human. After all, that's what we were made to do... reproduce. I am going to have 2 children... not a handful, so i can still live my life to the fullest, while hopefully being married.

Children are so wonderful to have around. You don't have to have any, though. You can adopt one or more older children waiting for a home, and only have them around a few years.
It's always best to live your life for yourself, with or without children, imo. If you give up your own aspirations in favor of doting on your child, you only set yourself up for disappointment as they never understand the level of sacrifice and won't appreciate it.

I have been married for 5 years and i have chosen NOT to have children yet and i have a lot fun. Not having to think of a babysitter when doing anything. Most of my friends do not do things they would love to because of kids. They often tell me they wish they had WAITED to have kids. Some are staying in bad marriages for kids.
I do believe that kids are a great blessing. I'm just not ready for them . For now I"M LIVING MY LIFE FOR ME and MY HUSBAND and we love the peace and quite
