It wasn't a conscious effort to have kids later. It was just the way life goes.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't have any regrets about not having had children. What's the point? It's just something else to beat yourself up over.
I never felt that my life was not complete without a child. I don't know if that, as a younger man, I'd have had full appreciation for it.
I wasn't mentally prepared to take care of them, I was focused on my career. And then when I got to be in my 40s and I thought about having kids, I wasn't able to have kids naturally. I don't regret it.
Having children is exciting. Life puts the past into perspective.
Having children makes you see the world in a completely different way. When you're responsible for those little lives, you can't slough it off or forget about it until later.
I wasn't interested in having children of my own. I know what would have happened - I'd have been left at home to look after the kids, and my career would have been over while my husband travelled the world.
It's true: I don't remember what life was like before parenthood.
I made the conscious decision to not have kids, and I didn't want to be married.
From the time I could speak, I knew I wanted to have children. It was just an innate desire.
There's not a second I regret having a child on my own.
