If I had had enough money and been physically able, I would have loved to have had a houseful of kids. I would have been good at it. But I am a teacher married to a teacher, and by the time I had the second I was showing signs of wear. I do think there ARE women who just love to have babies, love to parent, to be a mommy and that it satisifes something in them. I personally went to work kicking and screaming. I so wanted to be home with my kids, but I couldn't.

So while I see your point, that like the woman who wears the burqua, we just don't know how she really feels...but I would have enjoyed being home and having more kids. Maybe because as a teacher I see parenting done well, and done dreadfully.
