I remember thinking this when I joined as everyone tells me I don't want a child, I want to have a career/go travelling/see the world/go out clubbing... hello! Didn't even want to do that at 17 so why should I now at 25? However, it's so nice to find that there are other people like me, even if they are on the other side of the world and I'm older than a lot of them. My parents have stopped that this year as now they want grandchildren, but they were the main ones telling me there was no way I wanted a child last year!

However, I'm far too jealous of you all to post here too much as DH and I are waiting another year and a half before we even start to try for a baby and I thought we'd be trying as soon as we married, about a year and a half ago when we were 23. Always wanted a baby/bump before 25 but as it's my 25th in 5 days that isn't going to happen so after being very upset for the last year I'm coming to terms with it a bit so I refuse to have a strop on my birthday.

Anyway, just popped in to say hello and welcome, you're certainly not alone and it's great to find people who have family priorities in an age when you're just expected to work and work and pay a gazillion in taxes and think that's an achievement.
