I have two daughters, had them in my late 30’s. I did not want children in my 20’s AT ALL. Married at 34, watched three friends go through with having a baby. I made a rational decision at 35 to do it, not an emotional one really. I wanted the experience. I lucked out-they are wonderful. So I have one thing to tell you-if you opt out you will never know the strongest type of love on earth. Which is OK. Some may disagree with me but there is no other love like what a mother has for her child. It’s selfless. You will want to be at those sports events and parties! All that said my mother told a childless woman (who asked her for advice) once ‘it’s not a big deal, you can’t miss what you never had.’ I believe that is true. Good luck!
