Do you want/have children?

    Personally, I don't want children but it wouldn't be the end of the world if it happened. Children seem to be such a drain on happiness, money and energy.

    If you have children, your personal life is essentially on hold for at least 18 years. There is also the possibility that the child could grow up sick later in life or get complications.

    My OH and I LOVE our freedom, we are always going on impromptu weekends away abroad and here in Ireland. With children, you couldn't do that.

    Then there is the added cost of childcare and the hassle and stress and sleepless nights that come with it.

    My OH and I are happy to maintain our happiness and youth and stay child-free.
