HI there
I'm new to this forum and would just like to say how great it and the CF articles are. I'm 32, married, no kids, 5 cats and have no maternal instincts at all. All my friends bar one, are breeding and am beginning to feel isolated, for a time I even wondered if I should have a baby since it seemed the right thing to do, but reading CF forums like this and others in the UK, has made me realise that this is a valid choice to make and I have to accept that my friends and I will no longer be close. I like their kids, but I like saying goodbye to them even more. The pressure to conform is huge, but the consequences of having kids you don't want would be much worse. I like my career, my expensive holidays, my 2 seater car and my quiet tidy house. If that makes me selfish then so be it.
Loving the Katherine Hepburn quote by the way.
