I am 37 and do not yet have children. All of my life, I have always wante a child or children of my own. I also want to be realistic. I am in the relationship of my life, I truly believe I have finally found my soul mate. He is 12 years older than myself with two grown daughters (and three grandchildren). A big part of him would like to have a son. He is also realistic. There are risks at my age; We have not set a date yet, but we will probably be married sometime next year. So, getting pregnant is early to late next year at the absolute earliest --and that would be if we were fortunate enough to conceive "immediately". If I'm honest, I am not thrilled with the idea of being 60 or nearly 60 when my child is 20. I like to share the first couple of hours on weekend mornings laying in bed talking with my Sweetie ...and there are all sorts of other cons I could go on and on about. Am I being selfish if I decide not to have a child after all ...and it could be just one at this
