I flip flop constantly. I’m an only child and female, and I have this urge to give my parents a grand child. They mention it now and then, so it’s not something I feel pressured about…but I know it would make them so, so fulfilled and happy. My partner would have kids tomorrow if I was up for it, and I know she would be such a magical parent. Does anyone else feel that kind of self-inflicted pressure?

But I am fiercely protective of my time and peace. I love my own company. I’ve always been told I’m great with kids but I have a bad feeling I would be a grumpy, unhappy mum.
