I can cuddle their babies and enjoy it knowing I'll get none of the "see, you're a natural" nonsense!

Being married in my 30s and lacking the desire to have children (so does my husband) it seems everyone I know either has children (at least 2 or 3) or still wants them. I've been feeling marooned.

All of my close female relatives and friends either have kids or want to have kids. In the past few years I have started to feel like that difference between me and them has become more significant.

I wondered if you would mind me including you.

Later my boyfriend joked that I almost looked too comfortable - I made it clear that there were no maternal instincts. There is a huge dif between holding a sleeping newborn for 30 minutes and raising a child for 18 yeasrs.

I worry that all of sudden I will become maternal and crave a baby. Thankfully it never seems to happen and only cements my decision as I hand them back and return home to my quiet oasis!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14816443.post-52786530561232892112011-07-19T05:38:47.977-07:002011-07-19T05:38:47.977-07:00Thank you for posting this.

My husband's cousin (who is like a little sister to him) had a baby this year and being around him has given me a lot of highs and lows. But in the end I'm just grateful that I get to be a part of the whole thing and even more grateful that I leave after a few hours and get some sleep.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06232796917367150497noreply@blogger.com
