Do you want children?

Results | Messages
I'm writing an article on women who don't want children, and the way that society reacts to them. As well as answering these questions, I'm looking for any anecdotes you may have on this subject, whether you're childfree or not! Tell me about why you want/don't want children, and how your decision affects your life: Email me at amber@hotigloo.co.uk. Thanks for participating!
