It's always interesting reading what people think about having children before they do. They don't have a clue. No offense....this is true of everyone.
I know this is getting off the subject of this thread, but having children can be the best thing in one's life. I agree...not as a single mother. I hope you find a wonderful husband and father.
But children can change one's life, especially if you allow them to and don't get uptight about not being able to go out at the last moment or losing one's "freedom." When one has a child, there is a resevoir of love that opens up that you just won't believe until it happens to you. Yes, it is not easy to discipline and bring up children with decent values this year. But there is nothing better than snuggling with your children and loving them.
When you have your children, appreciate them and everyday that you have with them. And your life will be wonderful.
Hard to find a man who doesn't run in the other direction when you say you want to be a stay at home mother. However, I'm confident I will someone. Children are a blessing and not the curse that this society would have people believe, esp. women.
