We went to some friends of ours' house on Saturday night. A couple that we hang out with often, whom I thought we were on the same page as far as where we were in life. The wife is student teaching right now, and said she doubts she'll get a teaching job for the fall and told her husband if she doesn't get a job they should just have a baby. 

There goes one of the last of our friends who isn't wanting to have a baby, or pregnant. I swear, we're going to need new friends soon. I would like to hang out with people who don't all have babies on the brain. It's kind of depressing.

Speaking of bad reasons to have kids...

My BIL is going to be 40 this year, and he got divorced 1 1/2 years ago because he didn't want kids. Though he has gotten a little bit better being around our niece, he still has the same position on having his own. A couple weeks ago my MIL was saying that he needed to hurry up and meet someone so he could have kids, because he needs someone to take care of him when he gets old and she doesn't want him to be alone. She thinks if he just had a kid, he would be ok with it. I said that lots of people don't want kids, and that's a valid choice, and that he could very well meet a woman who doesn't want kids or who is his age and has grown kids. But MIL just would not budge, she thinks he has to have kids. I was a little surprised by her insistence. What a crazy reason to have kids!

Julie - try the Amy's Pesto Tortellini. So amazing.

That's a selfish reason to have kids.  And the thing is, just because you have kids doesn't necessarily mean they will stick around to take care of you, which puts you right back to where you were.

...or worse.   They don't stick around AND you've already spent your savings for their college or whatever.   Then you have no kids AND no money.  :-)

Ok so Last week it was baby week on Discovery Fit and Health...

Ex FI and I were planning to get pregnant as soon after the wedding..

Now I hope I will meet someone and have my family but my Biological Clock is really ticking I'm turning 36 in August. So I was thinking that if by the time I am 38 I am not in a serious relationship I will explore the options to become a mother... is that selfish? 

marksle84

So I'm just going to refuse to accept the veil. After seeing what she produces I don't really have the confidence in her to fix it.

Another B&M, the reception venue has not responded to any of my emails regarding scheduling a tasting. I really need to narrow down the catering, considering its 50% of my budget! And when I went to book some of my rooms for that night they are SOLD OUT! Apparently a conference booked out the whole hotel. We didn't block any rooms because we would be responsible to pay for 90% of the rooms we reserved. Again, another email left unanswered. grrr

TexanTreasure08

Marksle: Have you tried BellaBridalVeils on Etsy? I got mine from her custom made and she emailed me pictures of details I wanted before she made it to make sure that was what I wanted. I love my veil!

But as the saying goes "You might want to be nice to me.  I determine whether you go into a nursing home or not" ;)

I checked Brianna's photographers site too :X  I think a ton of us are guilty on that one!

Also, fingers crossed for all the teachers out there.  I hate that they are cutting back on something that should be ranked so high on the Keeper list.

My only B&M is that since I have been on my 100 day break for work, I have royalled F-ed up my sleep schedule. I couldn't fall asleep until after 6am, had to get up to work out at 9am, then passed back out until about 5min ago.  I am so screwed when I have toget back on a normal schedule:P

Giselle- I don't think that is selfish at all!

Texan Treasure: I almost chose them, but this lady seemed like she got my vision.

Tiffany- Yes I called the Omni and it either goes straight to voicemail or her assistant. But I just tried again and the assistant says the coordinator was out of town last week, so I will give her until Wednesday before she sees my evil side!

Okay, my hotel blocks are officially sold out a month before the wedding, and the rates skyrocketed. I feel guilty because I know not everyone got their rooms in time, but I'm trying to convince myself they will deal with it and I shouldn't worry.

You shouldn't worry.  This is not on you, and far from it.  Usually there is a deadline as it is.  Tough Noodles.  Shouldn't have waited until the last minute.  Early bird gets the worm.  They are adults and there are other places to stay.  This is not the end of the world.  Just let this be like water off of a ducks back.

Actually, I should rephrase that.  I only eat the enchiladas and the lasagna ones.  The way I said it could be taken as insensitive and I didn't mean it that way.  Indian food is not weird. 

MarieSD

You're totally right, and I know I'll go crazy if I feel responsible for 100 OOT guests' well-being the whole time they're in TX. I'm going to use this as my mantra when people have problems related to my wedding. (Which, in the last week, is all I've heard about).

Oh yeah, I have a major B&M now...

I went for a quick jog and jumped in the shower.  Halfway through my shampooing and while my face scrub was still on my face, BAM no water. 

....

So apparently, another apartment in the complex has a busted water heater.  In order to fix it, the city turned off ALL the water to our complex for the next couple of hours...

No warning.  No heads up. I am sitting here trying to figure out how I can rinse out my whole head of hair with a single bottle of water in our fridge and get the excess face wash off.

Posted by gisellehuet[/QUOTE]

NO!! I have a friend who wanted to be a mom so bad she said with her without her piece of crap husband she would have children. Technology allows us to get pregnant without having a "father". Although I do think children benefit most from at least having the opportunity to grow up in a home with two parents, there are so many children who are raised by their mothers are turn out to be wonderful adults. Some turn out better with the absence of maybe a poor father figure. So in short, no, it's not selfish.

Your post has me terrified and I don't even work in your district!!!!!  I know that a lot of people were let go at another district's admin. the other day.  They were called in for a meeting and told they were gone and then the next one was called in.  It sounded like a butcher line.  I haven't heard anything myself about my job as of right now but I'd like to think I would have heard something already.
