I want kids, but my Mr. AKA_Monet does not right now... He's freaking out... But, I will not press him because in reality, neither of us can afford it even though I am over 35...
However, after watching the drama unfold between my brother, my SIL and their kid along with my parents... Whewhoo... I really suggest thoroughly discussing to your S/O EVERY detail about having kids... 'Cuz you cain't send them back--ever... And your time is NEVER you own again--they OWN your azz foreva!!! And if you have already gotten the parental threat of: "yeah we'll take care of the kid, and give it all he needs--and when it's time to go home--we'll send 'em home..."
So I dunno what to say to parents that ask, "when will you have kids?" or if you gain half a pound--and get asked, "are you expecting?" I guess I just smile a say, "no" and try to let it go... But it does drive me to drink copious amounts of alcohol...
