Quotes from Readers
“I just know that if I were a parent, something would suffer. I don't think I could do it all. I don't think I could remain in the job I'm in now in this capacity and also have a child. It's just too much responsibility.” — Sally, 36, personnel officer for a large corporation
“We definitely have enough money right now to have a child, but we want to spend it other ways, like decorating our newly-bought condo, vacationing, investing in real estate, and doing things neither of us could afford to do until now... Yet I want to have a baby soon. All of this is a supreme dilemma.” — Sandy, 27, management associate at a bank
“If I got pregnant, I'd probably love it and everything would work out fine. But being on the pill gives me the opportunity to plan, and it makes it too precise. I'm a natural planner, and organization freak, and here it works against me.” — Dean, 31, an MBA and program officer with a foundation
