The number of women who are choosing never to have children is on the rise. Did you ever consider not having kids?

How did you decide to have or not have children?

I never wanted kids and never had them (10.0%)

I used to want kids but I don't anymore (10.0%)

I didn't want kids but then I changed my mind (30.0%)

I've always wanted kids (50.0%)

I never thought about it (0.0%)

    I always wanted to be a mom from the time I was a little girl. My husband was quite a bit older than I am. He already had children from a first marriage, yet he was open to the idea of having another child. I am grateful he agreed to start over again at 47 years old. We have just one, but she was a great one to have. I think he was more relaxed as a parent the second time around.

    I have wanted kids since I was little. Also when I first found out I was adopted I had wanted to adopt, but never got the chance. I did want 3 kids, and I finally have 3 but I am done. I had a tubal done with my last c-section. But I wouldn't give them up for the world. My first child is my husband's stop son but he treats them all the same and he is the only boy besides my husband so they are a pretty good team lol. And I agree with comment above. By the 2nd and 3rd time around, I have chilled out a bit but I do things differently every time, but with lots of love for all of them.
