Some women just don't have that natural urge to become a mother or either the woman's biological clock isn't ticking or has "timed out". I know, for me, my "ticking" was strong when I was in my early to mid 20s, but by the time I reached about 25, it started to die off. At this point in my life, I have no particular desire to actually become a mother, which is ironic because I really love kids. Either way, the urge just isn't there anymore. I also have no desire to marry ever. I've felt like this since I was a kid and I grew up in a stable two-parent home. The idea of marriage has just never appealed to me since I lack the patience to put up with a husband. Funny how I have patience with kids, though.

I'm also not sure if I could handle raising a child, even though I've been told I'd probably do well because I get along with young children so well, while also making sure that said children know his/her boundaries as I do believe that children should be disciplined whenever they do something wrong, whether it be taking a toy away or punishing them or taking away something they really like, etc. With the way society is now, I'm not sure if I could do it anyway. I'm kind of old-fashioned, and I'm sure my "old-fashioned" ways would clash with this modern society. I've even been told one time, "You need to join the 21st century." That was earlier this year. lol
