Is something wrong with my biological clock?? When did you know you were ready for children?

I'm 28 and still haven't had the %26quot;biological%26quot; urge to have children. Is there something wrong with that? For some reason I just can't wrap my head around being a mother. It's a LOT of work (and I have tons of respect for women that have kids and are good mothers) and I don't know if I'll ever be ready for it.



How many of you weren't mentally prepared to have kids until you found out you were pregnant? Did your attitude change once you had your baby? Honestly, is it really the %26quot;best thing that's ever happened to you%26quot; as many women say, or does society just expect us to say this. I know so many frazzled parents that I'm just starting to wonder who is telling the truth. I'm not being mean by saying this or doubting that women love their children unconditionally, but is it really as hard as it seems to be a parent? Also, how did the men in your lives adjust to having children?



Any insight is greatly appreciated.Is something wrong with my biological clock?? When did you know you were ready for children?You are to young to worry about having kids, the biological clock applies only when you are over 40 and have not had any kids, most of us we aren't ready to have kids, just happens, sometimes we want it, sometimes we don't. Everybody is different, you don't have to do or not do things based in other people experiences, it is true that is not easy to be a good parent, you don't go to school for that but your love and care will help to raise a child. To have a child is one of the best things that can happen to you. But you have to consider your life style, if you are willing to sacrifice your freedom, your money, etc. The best thing is to talk you man before you get pregnant in that way he doesn't feel left out %26amp; doesn't ruin your relationship. You can be happy w/out kids, also you can be happy w/kids, is a personal decision and depends of the circumstances.

i had my first kid when i was 27 and yes I wanted to be a mother. Everyone is different. Yes my attitude did change but I Absolutely love being a mother and it is the best thing that has ever happened to me and if you do decide to have kids you will love them. Well the men in my life have adjusted to suit what I need and what my kids need and they are very helpful and things have changed but its a good change. Its great to be a mother

There is nothing wrong with you. Not everyone is meant to be a parent. I'm 25 and have no desire to have kids ever. Don't listen to people who say its the best thing that's ever happened to you or whatever, they do not know what they are talking about. Having a kid isn't everything you know. It's not anyone's business what you choose to do with your reproductive system. The world is overpopulated as it is lol.
