When should a woman begin having children? What's too young and what's too old? In a perfect world who would have children and who wouldn't? Would people have to have licenses to have children or would it remain as it is now? How many is too many? How do you know when you've had enough? How do you decide if you want one, are ready to have one, or whether you should even be entertaining this idea?
I've been thinking about talking to my boyfriend about it for a few weeks now. My clock is ticking and I know I can't listen to it anymore. I've rather had enough of it. In fact it's getting on my nerves with the two other clocks I have in my room and my constant need to always know what time it is.
So I wonder when would it be a good time for me to have a child? Obviously I should have my own place. It doesn't have to be the house of my dreams, but not a slum. I would like to have a father who will be there. I don't need to be married to him. Marriage and the need, or want, of children never equated for me. I do not want to be the same age as my mom or cousins just now having children. I want my last one at 30. I just can't deal with my other problem that much longer. I'm afraid I'm just a wimp and can't take it.
I think two would be enough for me. That's perfect. Have no more than you can handle and the world and amusement parks are built for four. So maybe three, just in case.
I do know I want to adopt. As much as I want children of my own I'd be helping someone out by adopting a child. That's one more for me to love. I don't care wear from either. All children need love.
But before all of that, plus finishing college, which can be done with children in tow so that's not like a huge problem to me for some reason, I need to speak up. If you can't speak up then well....what's the point.
