I just like being a kid. I enjoy it, I don't want to grow up.

I really enjoy being a dad, and maybe I took it too seriously, but I love being around my kids.

I like kids, but I don't expect to have any of my own. I'm 40 years old and spend most of my time working. I'd be a terrible mother.

I just ultimately wanted to be a mother. I love children.

I realized relatively early on that I had no desire to be a mother whatsoever. I actually love children, but specifically other people's.

I like other people's kids and being able to give them back when I want to.

I personally want to have children. I love children, and I simply can't wait to have a family of my own.

I am lucky in that I love what I do, but it can still be hard to be away from the kids for long lengths of time. At the end of the day, all I want is to be with my kids, but it's worth it to create a future for my family.

Being a parent means my time use has to be a bit more focused, but it also gives me a new non-writing dimension to my life, which is a healthy thing. I can't wander along for weeks with an idea drifting through my head - I have someone who will drag me back into life, and that's a good thing.

I am just happy that I have children. I don't care what they want to do!
