Next day: I’ve recovered from my temporary insanity. Phew.

"I'm concerned about my state of mind. I've been wondering what it would be like to have a kid. Picturing myself with a kid. Checking into my medication to see what risks there are. Imagining discussing the possibility with my neurologist. I'm not sure how to deal with this. Have I lost my mind? Am I just going through a 'Oh, it's such a cute puppy, let's bring it home' phase? Where hopefully I'll realize that the cute puppy grows into an annoying needy dog *before* I take it home."

Eatonweb. "Not wanting children, dealing with the avoidance of parenthood by default, and then passionate gratefulness about having kids. It seems to be a recurrent statement amongst former disinterested parents."'
