Same thing with me. I also love kids and I'm really good with them. I've had people tell me that it's a shame I don't want any because they feel as though I would make a good mom. I myself think I would make a pretty good mother. I'm very hands on and I would love nothing more than a great relationship with my children but when I think of all that could go wrong, it discourages me. Besides, I've never had the desire to be a mother. I'm happy enough with my life as is. And if that makes me selfish, then I'm enjoying my selfishness without sacrificing anyone else's happiness smile
