I don't have any kids due to infertility and did try to have "one" (and only one) via IVF but having said that I am not a big kiddie person. I think I would of liked my own child I am just not that fond of anyone elses kids, I do like my sisters girl very much though (she is probably the only child I really do like) and we are close but I am still always happy when she goes home at the end of the day if she has been with me all day. Babies absolutely terrify me too!!!! I must say even though it was heartbreaking to find out I couldn't have a child intially I am very happy living childfree, I love the peace and quiet, I love all the free (me) time I have etc. Having a child isn't everything and I certainly don't feel like less of a woman or less of an important memeber of society because I don't have one either.
