Agree. I did some part time nanny work when I was going to college. The kids were fine, actually. But to do it as a FT job, I could see that being a stressful job because as a nanny you are hired to entertain. But when they are yours it is a different story. Now married, we planned for our children. And it is different when they are your own. Not saying is trouble free, they have their moments. But we have pretty well behaved kids. They are kids, but I will not allow them to run around in a department store or restaurant. Just remember that if you don't want children, that is entirely your choice. But be honest with your partners from the get go. Having children or not having children isn't something you can compromise on. And you are still relatively young and certainly not ready or in the position to have a family. So live your life, get your career on track and just be open because you never know what the future holds.
