I just watched the video, and you brought up a lot of interesting topics, which gave me a lot of food for thought. Well done!

That's the reason I decided to start practically all the languages I want while I'm still young. I have the rest of my life for reaching perfection:)
Though I wasn't thinking specifically about kids but also about a future job/career. It would also nice to have at least some skills by the time I'm independent enough to travel on my own wherever I want (mostly Europe). Nowadays I travel with family members and they prefer visiting like two cities per week or so. I'm 21 btw. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Kato Lomb was a parent and a very successful polyglot.

I personally have never really been interested in having children, and although I still have plenty of time to change my mind (I'm only 26), I can see myself going through life childless. At this point it's hard to imagine myself not doing what I'm doing, learning languages and traveling!

That's what I said to my husband the first time we met too when I was 33, and within months we were married and planning to have children. My colleague said the same when she was 40, and by the time she was 44 she had three sons. One of my aunts gave birth at 55, so even for women, life may take an unexpected turn quite late in life. My sister has stayed single and there are days I really envy her the freedom and the peace she has. Whenever I visit her I am so tired that I pass out on her couch, and the thought of having a nap in the afternoon on a regular basis like she does, sounds like heaven. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It's when people say things like this that I think, "there's no way I'm ever having children!" 1 person has voted this message useful |
