Trapped in a prison of my own making, that's exactly how I feel.

Positives

Erm.....

Negatives

Less sleep
Less sex
Less money
More stress
More worry
Less time to do things I want to do
Play places (Argh.......)
Holiday resorts that have to have a kids club and mini disco (Argh!!)
More mess

Other than that I love em!

You're not selling it to me Grin

"So in your view those of us who have been unable to have children have lesser lives....you madam are a cock!"

I agree. What a stupid thing to say. There is far more to life than reproducing. Having children is merely one aspect.

*It's the worst cliche, but my children's laughter is the most wonderful music I've ever heard and I just delight in their curiosity and innocence. I get more pleasure from feeling their warm little arms wrap around me than I ever felt before I became a mother.

Which isn't to say that some days they aren't world-class dickheads and I could quite cheerfully fake my own death and move to Belarus.*

This is perfect - exactly how I feel, too!
