High Noon: Why Did You Have Kids?

On her Facebook wall, Cindy explains that she’s writing a column re: why people have children. So she asks her readers whey they chose to have kids. One responded: “Needed someone to blame me for all their problems, just like I did my parents. It’s the circle of guilt.” Another: “The first one caught me by surprise (and still does). The other four were planned, we wanted a family…the right size for us. I also believe that despite the unpopularity of a large family, we would raise such great kids that people would dearly wish we had some more.” How about you?

Question: Why did you & your spouse decide to have children?
