So When Are You Having Kids? Parenthood Interview
So When Are You Having Kids? is a book for people who aren't sure if/when/how they want to become parents. I, Jordan, am currently writing the book and am looking for people to feature in the book about their thoughts regarding parenthood. I'm looking to hear from everyone, whether you have kids, want kids, don't want kids or aren't really sure. The book will include short anecdotes as well as longer interviews. Please fill out the following form if you have thoughts on parenthood you'd like to share for the book (and the newsletter accompanying the book).

Did you use any of the following to conceive your children?
Please pick at least one of the parenting questions below to answer. You do not have to answer all of them. When answering questions, please use as much detail as possible. That said, it doesn't have to be a whole long story. But a paragraph is generally better than a sentence.
I will be reaching out to some people for interviews. However, I do not have the bandwidth to interview everyone and will be quoting most people using what you write here.
What made you decide to have children? How old were you when you had your children?
Did you always know you wanted to have kids? If your feelings changed, what changed them?
Do you enjoy parenthood? Is there anything you wish you could change?
Do you ever regret having children?
For those who parent with a partner, do you feel the parenting responsibilities are split equally? If not, who does more work?
Has parenting changed your relationship with your partner? How so?
Did having kids change your work-life or career trajectory? If yes, how so?
What is the best part of being a parent?
What is the worst part of being a parent?
If you experienced pregnancy, what was your pregnancy like? What was giving birth like? I am very interested in the perspectives of those who were afraid of pregnancy and/or childbirth. If that's you, how did you navigate those feelings?
What advice would you give someone who isn't sure they want kids?
Do you consent to having your responses used in the So When Are You Having Kids book* and newsletter?
