I am happy for my friends. I'm an "aunt" to them and I will do stuff with their children. I don't have baby fever. I love the holidays. We have our own traditions. I cook and we decorate a tree. I love picking out a live tree. Decorate the house. Family dinners. Not sure how a kid makes it better. We buy a Christmas ornament where ever we travel and then talk about that vacation when decorating the tree. Love all the holidays really, I don't feel I'm missing anything. I stuff stockings and make stuff for Easter(even do an egg hunt with family). I do things for all the typical holidays.

Your questions seem to assume your life is missing something without a child. My Mother always told me if I have children it is so important to know they don't make you who you are, to remember who you are without your children because they grow up. She says your job as a parent is to help them be independent and to function without you. Perhaps my outlook has a lot to do with my family never putting pressure to have children. My life is full without a child. Not sure we will have them but if we do they will be loved.

Also my mother had children when she was 14 so she put "pressure" on me to be safe and have children when I'm old enough to support them, so again my outlook may have to do with that.
