How did your desire to have, or to not have children change with time?

1 Answer

Answer :

I’m not old enough for it to be a consideration, yet, being still in high school, but my a few of my cousins recently had kids and I’d help watch them sometimes, which turned out, much to my surprise, to be a lot of fun. It’s really interesting watching as they age, it’s shocking, really. After that, I decided, as a complete turn in my thoughts, that I wanted to have kids eventually. Even now when I think of life as a teenager, my life in general, I occasionally think of and write about what I’ll say to my kid when he/she is the age I am, now.
