Re: Why some don't want kids....
I didn't have any kids in l959..although I did get pregnant at the end of the year. I lived in a 1 bedroom walk-up on the top floor. The kids got the bedroom and we slept on a pull-out couch in the living room. I'm trying to recall how long it was before we got a 2 bedroom in the same building, again the top floor. It had to have been at least six or seven years before I had a room to call my own again. The "American Dream" of living in my own house didn't happen for me until 1985 and then I owned two houses until 1997 when I gave the one in Queens up.
