"It&amp;apos;s safe to say Jennifer Westfeldt has babies on the brain.\r\nAfter writing, directing and starring in Friends With Kids, the 42-year-old began pondering why she and longtime love Jon Hamm never started a family. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;ve thought about this a lot lately. I never thought I&amp;#x2019;d be this age and not have kids,&amp;quot; Westfeldt tells The New York Times. &amp;quot;But my life has also gone in a million ways I never anticipated.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I kept feeling like I&amp;apos;d wake up with absolute clarity, and I haven&amp;apos;t. And we have a pretty great life together. The chance that we&amp;apos;ll regret it doesn&amp;apos;t seem like a compelling enough reason to do it. I may wake up tomorrow with that lighting bolt, and I&amp;apos;ll have to scramble to make it happen.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nWestfeldt has been dating Hamm, 41, since 1997. She was inspired to write Friends With Kids after watching their friends slowly disappear into a world of dirty diapers, parent-teacher conferences and dance recitals.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Best intentions aside,&amp;quot; Westfeldt tells The New York Times, having kids &amp;quot;always changes your friendship, at least that first year or so, in a way that I think is painful for both of you.&amp;quot;\r\nFriends With Kids, which also stars Adam Scott, Megan Fox, Maya Rudolph, Chris O&amp;apos;Dowd and Kristen Wiig, is in theaters now."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
