i'm lucky
i've never wanted children, which anybody who knows me will be aware of.
i was told at the age of 16 that i would never be able to have children. i will never forget the look on the doctor's face when i let out a very loud "woo hoo!"
it drives me potty when stupid do-gooders assume that i've decided i don't want kids merely as a way to shield myself from the emotional pain of being unable to conceive.
yeah, right.
i'm also lucky in that i have a brother who can't seem to keep it in his pants, an older sister with 1 daughter and a younger sister with 1 son and 2 more on the way. i will never be harassed to provide grandchildren.
