[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 245034, member: 1991"] I still would push for te experience factor, either a real child with supervision, or a doll. But if she is open about not liking children, ten surely she has t recognise that being stuck with a kid who is crying at any hour, needs attention pronto regardless of how you're feeling, and makes you feel very out of control and inexpereinced - is NOT a good thing to face, without some idea of what you're getting into. What on earth does she think will happen, if she goes into this with a dislike of children plus no experience? Does she expect that her offspring will be born talking, walking, capable and independent, as she perceives herself to be? A sort of mini-me? Because however old she is, it takes that many years of hard work to get there. I wouldn't be standing for any talk about "I want a baby" until she has proved to me that she's not talking through her arse (as we so genteely say Down Under). Workshop the outcomes with her.
