I know, right? I was talking to an older lady in my program and mentioned that I was graduating. She asked me how old I was and I told her. Her next question, "Any babies in your future?"

Ma'am, I have been dating a guy for all of 2 weeks, have an apt with no roommates, and still thoroughly enjoy sleeping in (and not having "baby weight"). I'm going to go with no.

I don't hate kids or anything. I have a nephew that I adore. They're just not for me at this point.

She mentioned that she had had all 3 of her kids by 22 (which was probably the norm where she is from), so perhaps that's why she was so surprised to learn that I don't have any.

There needs to be a "responding to 'when are you going to have kids?'" thread, lol.
