Ha! Swore all my life I'd never have kids, never wanted them, didn't even LIKE them. And wham-o. I have three.
Course I was almost 30 by that time. Still not fond of kids, but now that they are college age, I find them pretty neat to know. And much more political savvy than their mom.
Never thought of child bearing as something defining, just a hazard to be avoided if possible. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids, but would have been content and complete without them as well.
An interesting side. Being a resident of a college town for most of my adult life, I found moving here, to the backwoods so to speak, to be a real eye opener. Teens having babies, no education beyond high school, it's shocking. I guess I lived in a liberal, intelligent cocoon for too long.
