Message-ID: <346@olivee.UUCP> Date: Thu, 2-May-85 19:07:05 EDT Article-I.D.: olivee.346 Posted: Thu May 2 19:07:05 1985 Date-Received: Sun, 19-May-85 07:12:46 EDT Distribution: net Organization: Olivetti ATC; Cupertino, Ca Lines: 21 What made you decide to have kids? Was it the "I'm 30 so I'd better get started" fear. Was there some identifiable maternal/paternal instinct that influenced you? This is an especially important question if you have no close friends with kids... Did it have anything to do with exposure to friends/relatives with kids? - My main reason for asking is this: I keep hearing phrases like "You have to REALLY WANT to have a child" etc. And I'm basically wondering what that means (to other people). Seriously seeking oppinions... Gary (hplabs,ihnp4,allegra)oliveb!olivee!gnome
