I don't want kids, and never have. Recently I found out why my 'wiring' was non-maternal, which made my lack of desire for kids understandable. But I catch hell from relatives for letting my family line 'die out' because I did not reproduce, nor did my sister or brother.

*shrug* I can understand the yearning, although I cannot experience it myself. I don't have any depth perception either, so I accept that some people can see 'three-d'. I can't.

I'm your age, but I don't feel 'stuck'. I've just been presented with a possible mortality issue that has made my boring old forties suddenly not quite as boring. I will make the best of what is left of my life, as I know you will. I send you all the best wishes for success if you conceive, and comfort if you do not. Just please raise a decent human being, not a monster.
