So I just watched Juno and watching Jennifer Garner yearning to be a mother was real touching for me because I remember being that girl. I am now the happy mother of two loud, bounce off the wall boys, and I wouldn't change it for the world, but I remember when I thought I couldn't have kids and looking at adoption web sites wanting so badly to be a mother, my own or to an adopted child. Which leads me to this question. And please don't think I am judging anyone who doesn't want to have kids, not at all, heck it's not for everyone that's for sure, there are some days I wonder if I'm cut out for it...but I never doubted for one second that I wanted to be someone's mommy.
I know two men who are married, both successful and professional (only mention it because money is not an issue for either of them) and their wives both are saying that they are "on the fence" or "not sure" about having kids. Watching Juno confirms what I have suspected all along-you either do or you don't. If you're in a happy marriage and have the means, I don't think a woman still "isn't sure". I believe both these women know that it's not for them but they don't want to confirm it to their husbands. What do you think?
