I hate seeing those types of posts on Facebook. <br /><br />My husband and I are "fence-sitters," so we've not yet decided whether to have a child. We like children, but are highly analytical as to the decision to become parents. Furthermore, my husband is 20 years my senior with a position as a professor and researcher.
