Hello,friends,good morning! Back to mylot now,long time no see^^ Right now a choice for you,Will you choose a life without your children,just you two together live the whole life?In my country,it's impossible,cause the traditional mind here"more members is likely to be a more warmer and strong family" So if you only consider your feeling with children,what's your choice,i mean,take no consideration of the above referred stable facts,maybe they are a little feodal.
My answer is:I will.
Thank you for your sharing.

I already have a child and I cannot imagine a life without children. If we cannot have children for medical reason that is different and we have make our minds. Otherwise I think we need to produce children as the they are the treasure of our lives. We do everything for them.

Hi ifglan,
Welcome back, I know what life is like without any children because I don't have any children of my own, just my husband and two cats, that is all I have and I am quite contented, I couldn't have any children so I am not blessed that way.

To tell you the truth I never wanted children, but my little girl was a miracle and I could not imagine life without her. I think me and my husband would drive each other crazy without here. But there is one day that she will be out of the house and on her own. So isn't that like not having children? Awwww. I don't want to think about that I get so sad. I think that I will have empty nest syndrome pretty bad.

I can read your feeling.It depends,you now have children already,i think it's hard to choose life without children,cause we love each other and get the mutual feeling.But if we are not married or still have no children,i think the answer will be not that.
Thank you for sharing ^^

I think having babies is not a must for two lovers.If both of you can consider it positively and sunny,that is fine.you will alway keep your love fresh,you two won't need to pour more time and energy to bring up babies,it is all your own time.Also life with children is wonderful too.It depends on what you think that.And I support any decision you make.

I could not see myself or my fiance without our daughter. Our daughter is the center of our world. Everything has fallen into place for us because of our daughter. We have our happy family and do things day by day and enjoy our lives. So if I could go back and do it all over, I would do everything exactly the same. And we look forward to our future in having another little one someday. For now we are enjoying our daughter, and spending time with one another.

I can imagine a life without children but I would not like it. It would be too quiet and too boring, children can cause all sorts of disruptions and at times can make life hard. But the good times they bring more than compensates for anything else.

A Home is comprised of what Father, Mother, Brother, Sister, Or you can say Husband,Wife,Son,daughter. If these things comprises a home, then how the life can go without childrenIn the society we are so inclined with the family that we can not pull on without. Though after they are at their own will go some where and we will be without them to pull on but you may say my or our children are not there at home.or they will come in the vacations.

My daughter gives me strength to live.During my very tough times shes the only one that gives me reason not to give up and fight whatever trials i had.I had realized i have to live for her.So, i don't know what had happened to me if she was not in my life.I love her so much and i would feel so lifeless without her.I am very happy and proud to have a wonderful and lovely daughter like her.

I have no children yet so I really cant tell the difference. Honestly, I want to have children of my own and when I get them, I would not love the let them go that easily. A close knit family who live together is a dream I have had for long. I dream of building a huge house with very many room where I will live with all my children and grandchildren.

I can't imagine life without children, a part of life is to be children. We never find our future without children, also family is never strong.
