I haven't 'lost out' because I haven't got kids. I've just put other things higher up my 'want's' list for life. Not all unmarried women without kids are a dried up old spinster, I'm not lonely or isolated by my life choices, I thrive on them and I didn't lack other options, I just chose the one right for me. The image of the spinster belongs to another age, before women had the power to make life choices which ended at being a wife (and by extension, a mother).
What I'm trying to say, gently I hope, is that your priorities, Chelle, possibly due to the possibility of not having children but wanting them, are different to my priorities in not having children and not wanting them.
You see Sam as wanting kids, but I don't see it as a high priority for her (in my experience, if a woman really wants kids, she will have them, career be blowed). But it's all open to interpretation, yours is as valid as mine.
