That's about 50% of the people at work. All I ever wanted was to have kids. Thank God I have some, and it's even better than I hoped it would be or could have ever imagined.
There's no way to adequately explain the intensity of love that I felt when my first was born. The way I try to explain it is that my heart went out from me and joined to my daughter, like an iron bond.
It would be impossible to explain to someone that has no children don't even try. You did come close though.........:-)
I'll bet it's higher then 50% that think of it as giving up freedom.
You sound like my husband, he wanted a family and kids. He didn't view it as a sacrafice, thank goodness.
It's a sad world when people can only see the things they had to "give up" to have kids rather then the things they gained.
