This conversation is fascinating! I vacillate between wanting to have kids and not wanting to have them. I wonder what it means if almost every time I see a baby or toddler, I smile and feel happy? Does that mean I want kids–or I just like to smile at them when I see them on the bus? I don’t even like cleaning up after myself or keeping track of my own errands. I really can’t imagine being in charge of someone else’s. Thanks for bringing up this subject.

Puma73…… can tell from your tome
it ain’t easy, but it’s home
and life for you,
at times….
has been no crystal stair
but someone has always
been there to take care
holding all of you in His Hands…
the road may be tough
but, you’ve been thru
the rough;
but as we breathe, doors open
the sun rises to light
your way, keep your head up….
better days are waiting
for you with arms open
and smiles…. for days……

lamesabassman….. thanks again for the tome… you’re never alone.. hang tough….

To Twanna: Thanks, and sorry my comment was so long:-) I know that there are people who say that having and raising kids is the best thing in the world, which may be true for them, but everyone’s experiences are different. I have a hyper 3 and a half year old son, and a nearly 6-year-old son who has been formally diagnosed with ADHD and Autism-related issues, so I know that it takes more than love to deal with it all. I have nothing against therapy, I’ve been through it numerous times and it is great, my older son already has a shrink. Time will tell if it will actually help him.

To Lamesabassman:Thanks!!! Love your sense of humor

Puma73: Thank you for your honesty!! :) By the way, even if the boys end up on shrinks' chairs, they'll be okay. I did and I am. :) Aspasia: Thanks for that link! And, yes, she is stunning! Ally: And, I love you too :) letinstar: [raises glass to you] Here's to kicking out the silly idea of a universal "biological clock." :)

i just turned 44 last month…i’ve yet to hear that “clock ticking” thing we women are supposed to hear…truth is, i don’t really enjoy the company of children…i have one nephew who i adore and that’s about all i can handle when it comes to children…
