WOMEN OVER "30" ONLY PLEASE - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

80s_Fan · 01-28-2006, 12:30 PM

I have a question for all women over the age of thirty only please.
For those, who have no kids now; do you think you would be a good mother or not and why?? Whether you decide to have one or more either at the present time or much later on, it doesn't matter; I'm just curious that's all.

For Myself:

In some ways I would be a good mother and in other ways I would not be.
I will be 37 this march and now I'm thinking about it more and more about having one but at the same time I'm having some doubts.

I'm totally confused

I like kids, but opted not to have them. I don't have the patience or maternal instinct........I mean I'm 33 and still haven't changed a baby....... I can't even be in the same room with a dirty diaper!!

I'll be 37 in July. I've known since I was 18, maybe even younger, that I don't want kids. I don't have the patience for them and I've never had any maternal instincts.

I knew when I was about five years old that I never wanted to have kids, and that I'd be horrible at it if I ever did. I'm 44 now and have no regrets.

I'm 33 and had my first baby just before Christmas. So far I think I'm a pretty good mother. I still have lots to learn though. I always wanted kids and I wish I would have met my husband sooner so I could have had my first one earlier. We plan on trying for a second one next year

When I was younger I thought I wanted chidren,but I am 42 now and I don't have any and don't plan on any. I love children but don't know that I would have the patience to be a good mother, but others tell me I would of been a good mom,so who knows?

I someday want kids, but the thought of kids scares me cause I'm afraid I'll suck at being a mother.

Right now at this point in my life I don't want kids(I'm 31) I'm just not ready to have one.

I am at the age now where I am too old. Unfortunally I can't go back in time and start over. I just never met a man where I felt comfortable marrying. If I had I would have had a family. Most of my dates went nowhere. Also see where I live.

I had my 2 children before turning 30;it was a goal for me. Now that I am over 30 I see them growing up in front of my eyes and it's fascinating ,I can also see that I make a pretty darn good single mom and have experienced a side of life that I never thought possible.
