If I ever get around to having children, I'll be thrilled to be a mother. I really enjoy children for the most part (as long as they are well behaved, haha) and I think I would enjoy raising them.

But (and this is a big but), if I don't ever have children, I'll be fine with that too. I have a great career, loving family and friends, my dog, a house, and money in the bank. I have the freedom to do whatever I please. I'm content. I don't NEED a baby to feel fulfilled.

So while I would welcome a child with great joy, if one never comes its not a tragedy. I'm quite happy with my life as it is.

100% what maria said, except I don't have a dog yet, but will soon! lol
