I am 32 and have a 5yo, 3yo, and 8mo. They were all planned and I have always wanted to be a mom and absolutely love being a mom. It’s hard. Hard on your body and can be hard on your mental health and finances. I think if you don’t think you NEED to have kids then I think it makes fine sense to not have them and your life will still be great and meaningful. Remember that you don’t have control over the kid you get and some can be very challenging (medical diagnoses, behavioral challenges) so as you make your decision, don’t just look at the lives of friends with healthy, well-behaved kids. Make sure you know you can love any kid you get unconditionally and do whatever it takes to give them a good life.
