Reply #102: I sure hope not. I wouldn't want to have to "mother" a husband.

I want a husband with whom I can have a mature adult relationship--no mothering necessary.

I don't have kids and am getting to the age where it's beside the point whether I want them or not. That's OK, because I don't have an urge to become a mother and don't feel I "need" to. If I ever were to become one it would be through stepmotherhood or maybe adoption if I'm ever in a financial place to do it, but it would most likely be with an older child. This will sound strange, but I've never been crazy in love with the idea of caring for a baby or toddler.

I plan to change careers in a way that will put me in contact with children, but that's not because I feel I have missed out not being a mother, it's just because I'd like to help kids.
