[net.kids] what make you decide?

What made you decide to have kids?

Was it the "I'm 30 so I'd better get started" fear.

Was there some identifiable maternal/paternal instinct that influenced
you?  This is an especially important question if you have no close
friends with kids...

Did it have anything to do with exposure to friends/relatives with kids?


- My main reason for asking is this:  I keep hearing phrases like
  "You have to REALLY WANT to have a child" etc.  And I'm basically
  wondering what that means (to other people).


Seriously seeking oppinions...
