Re: Do couples NEED to have children?
Nope... both of my aunts don't have kids and therefore I don't have any cousins. They're happy enough with their lives. My fave aunty spoils us rotten and they've travelled the world and have settled in India now.
Some women do want kids, others don't... you're definitely not abnormal!

Re: Do couples NEED to have children?
We get the same sort of hints, mainly aimed in my direction.
We're not overly sure yet at the moment either. I'd like to have kids, but at the same time, I'd like a life of nice houses and nice holidays too which would be harder to have with children to feed and clothe.

Re: Do couples NEED to have children?
i think its entirely up to the couple. One day i want them, but thats just me. I think as long as you both want the same then it not a problem. If you did and he didn't then i reckon there would be some issues.

Re: Do couples NEED to have children?
I always thought one day I'd like them, and so did J, but its like you say Beth, you get to a point where its the next natural step, and you realise everything you have and everything you are is going to change.
Thats quite scary for me and a step we're not quite ready to make.
Having said that though, I think most people have those fears and get through them.
At this moment in time I know I'd be thrilled if I found out I was pregnant, but at the same time, if it doesnt happen, I know I'm going to be equally as happy.
So...for me I guess its just a wait and see and let fate decide job.

Re: Do couples NEED to have children?
Kids are a lot of work.
Sometimes my kid cluster feeds. Every hour on the hour
If you have doubts I would say avoid having a kid.
I'm glad the wife wanted a kid.
Had she not wanted one I would not have my bundel of joy.
