Why do people choose to have children if they don't want to actually do the job of looking after them? What are you getting out of it if someone else is looking after them?
If you and your partner both want a full time career then why have you chosen to have a child?
I'm not just being a bitch, I really am genuinely curious as to what people's reasons are and what makes them want children.
I read on another thread that a lady dreads the days she is not at work but at home with her child. Is it a case of not realising what it will really be like until you've done it?
