How did your desire to have, or to not have children change with time?

I always say that I never want children because I can’t relate to them or talk to them. I always feel awkward around kids and don’t know how to talk with them at their level like you see parents do. I also dislike the way they are always dirty and sticky and throwing tantrums. You never know though, things could change.

Did you want children originally but then changed your mind? Never found the right time to get pregnant? Realized you were infertile? Did you never want kids but then had an unplanned baby and realized it’s what you wanted all along?

What was your experience?
