i hav'nt decided yet if i want kids in the future, i like playing with my nephew, i mean he's an angel, but its different when it's your own kid right. can you really tell when you're ready? better yet, how can you tell if you want them around in the future?

It is a tough answer to give....'will I be ready?' I was also very good playing with and looking after my young cousins and nephews but when I had my own, I realised that it was not all fun and games. There is real responsibility in having kids! And don't forget they can really drive you up the wall at times! But they are just simply a joy to have in your life. You cannot imagine the amount of love that you can have for a child until you have your own. But to know whether you are ready, I guess you have to be mentally prepared to do a lot of sacrificing and giving of yourself. Once you have that sorted out, I think the rest will be pretty much smooth sailing. Don't worry, your parental instincts will kick in! : ))
