44. They either think you're crazy or smile at you and say....

"You're still young... you'll change your mind." I'm 24, married, and childless by choice. All of my friends from college have kids of their own and are SHOCKED that I wouldn't possibly want to experience the joy of having a kid of my own.

Being a parent is a LOT of work, and I have nothing but the utmost respect for parents. I try to make sure that I convey that respect and appreciation to the parents of the kids that I work with. But I can't say that I would be "happier" if I was someone's mom. I prefer to work with kids as a day job, not a 24-7 one. :)
