To procreate or not procreate

A wise friend of mine said the best contraceptive is watching other people's children. Since then, I've been reminded by the cajoling of acquaintances if this experience will make me or break me as a potential mommy. Every day I find myself vacillating between the possibility of making a family and an all out moratorium on conception.
To numerically track my feelings I've devised a metric.

The system works as follows:
Negative Points
1-3: annoying but manageable
4-6: pulling my hair out
7-9: I'm considering women
10+: bring on menopause

Positive points
1-3: awww... how cute
4-6: Its my duty for the gene pool
7-9: the rewards outweigh the suffering
10+: I see a mini me in my future
