Having kids forces you to be less shallow and self-centered, in a number of ways. It's not such a bad thing.

Ha! I thoroughly ENJOY being self-centered (it's my right as a single human being) and have NEVER been considered SHALLOW by any means--wow--.
Why I haven't - alcoholism on BOTH sides of the family. Lack of a place to be that I would like for them to be. I can't CHOOSE to have a GIRL. Several reasons really. Just got skinny 5 years ago - don't really want the weight gain.
BUT if I ever had a boo boo I would just by golie do the very best I could.
The only reason I have ever wanted a child (never more than 1) is so that I could have a mini-me. LOL! A beautiful little dark-haired girl with the same p*ss & vinegar running through her veins, smart, funny, and full of life.
Sure hope the NUVA RING doesn't give out!
On a lighter note- these stories of why or why not to have children are incredible.
My mom said when she got pregnant with me - she was scared as could be but, she knew she wanted me more than anything in this world. That statement has meant the world to me as a daughter.
((((FOR ALL MOMMIES))))))
