Re: Do you want to have children?

It doesn't suck the life out of you. Well, it might do that for some people, but it has never done so for me.

It depends on what you mean by life. Having children is much more compatible with certain lifestyles than others. If you go to work and come home then yes it will have very little impact on your life. Some people like that and so it works out but for them.
For other lifestyles having children does suck the life out of you. Fine dining is pretty much a thing of the past or now reserved for special occasions. Travelling is much harder and the destinations now have to be family friendly. Clubbing requires a babysitter so realistically is never doing to happen. Sex has to be restricted to the bedroom or while children are away. Living downtown should really be replaced with living in the suburbs but that is fine since all the benefits of living downtown are off the table now anyway.
