Having children because you are worried that your biological clock is going to wind down before you can get knocked up is an *excellent* reason to have children, if you need that tick tick tick to motivate you to get beyond your doubts and ambivalencies.
Oh, I agree. . . That way when the relationship that you had serious doubts over ends or you find yourself trapped in a dead end job making $7 an hour you'll have not one, but two or maybe more unhappy lives to be responsible for.
Seriously, like another reader said, I am happy to have made the choice I made not to have kids when I was neither emotionally nor financially ready for them. If I end up childless than so be it. IMO, that is far better than having a kid I am in no position to take care of.
