You sound like a thoughtful person.
> I do wonder if there is a difference between playing/teaching nieces and nephews that you can hand back any time, and doing it all the time.
I think you're right about this.
Just remember, it's totally fine if you decide you don't want kids. It's usually a bad idea to feel pressured into it.
I'd be curious to hear what you end up choosing. Feel free to shoot me a DM on twitter or email me, even if it's a few years from now. (But only if you'd like to, of course.) Also, if you want to chat more about this sometime, definitely reach out; this topic is quite interesting to me.
Best of luck to you.
I would probably want to 'borrow' some relative kids for 2-3 weeks while they go on holidays, and see how the whole thing works - not just the fun parts - before I would be willing to commit to it. I do not mean you here, but it always surprises me how lightly people - otherwise very careful and responsible - take the most important and consequential decision of their life.
