"  We spend all this time talking about women angsting about motherhood and worrying about the possibility of not having children, but men are just as likely to want children, too. According to a study at the British Sociological Association in London, men who are childless are more negatively impacted emotionally than women who don&amp;#039;t have kids. The survey of 27 men and 81 women who are not parents found that 50 percent of the men who wanted children experienced isolation as a result, compared to 27 percent of women. Overall, a greater percentage of the same group of men versus women experienced depression, sadness, jealousy and anger because they didn&amp;#039;t have kids. Clearly, women aren&amp;#039;t the only ones whose biological clocks are ticking. If you&amp;#039;re a woman in your thirties, you can probably attest to that. I know just as many men in their late twenties to late thirties\u2014single and married\u2014who are eager to get the show on the road and start having babies, some even earlier than their girlfriends and wives. However, there&amp;#039;s one feeling women still seem to experience more than men: Guilt. (Although, my Jewish father would likely disagree with this statement.) While none of the men surveyed expressed feelings of guilt for not having kids, 16 percent of the women did. Interesting, huh? So basically that whole guilt syndrome so many mothers express regarding the challenge of the work/family life balance or not doing right by their kids one or another? Yeah, you can experience it on some level without even having children. Want more from Jessica? Follow her on Twitter. Credit: thinkstockphoto "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
