    [QUOTE]Angel, those shoes are awesome.  Muni, <strong>a 2 year old, no matter how well behaved, scares the sh*t out of most men, and many women as well.</strong> Yorkies make great children though. I've always wanted one.

    Agreed. And I can't even deal with the fact that K will be 2 in the fall. Where did the time go?

  • I'm willing to call Angel super-sexy in a creepy way too, actually.

    I'm not exactly *terrified* but I'm concerned about aging well as well.

  • I'm not too worried about aging.  People always think my mom is younger than she is, so that gives me hope.

  • My mom has aged really well... she's going on 60 and she's just starting to show any signs of age. I would love for that to be genetic and for it to be the same for me. However, my mom wears SPF 110 (not exaggerating) and hides under umbrellas at the beach and I don't... so I don't see myself looking quite as good as her at that age.

    [QUOTE]At this point, I'm just too selfish to have kids.  I like my time and I like being able to take off and go riding at any point. With kids, that wouldn't be possible. I just found out that a lady in my riding club has 2 kids. I've known her about 5 years and had no idea... Apparently she never takes them anywhere. I don't want to be that person.ever.

    FI told me during our argument that I was being selfish and I said well maybe I am. But (other than the job thing) I like our life. I also want us to be in a house we own not rent, and have some bills paid down before we take on the responsibility of another life. We do have a dog and a cat, but they weigh under 20lbs combined. Save for yearly vet visits, and food, they don't hurt us financially. They are actually a lot cheaper than we thought having a pet would be.

    Maybe this will change again when we get married. I wanted a baby in the worst way for awhile. We'll see, but I'm glad we're on the same page, or close to the same page.

    Angel does look sexy. I'm jealous. Lately I have been thinking about having another kid. Then I remember labor and the first three months. I change my mind really quick. I like having a 7 year old. I don't know if I would ever want to start over.

    I'm new-ish and trying to start participating - hi!  I lurk a lot and don't want to be a creeper anymore :)

    The kids conversation scares me - H and I would love to have a kid but I'm afraid I'm too old.  Which leads to my confession:  I am jealous of everyone who met their H young.  I was alone for 15 years until I finally met my H.

  • My mom looks pretty fan-freaking-tastic so I hope I have her genes.  My dad looks young too, but I'm not entirely sure he hasn't had work done...

    I have absolutely no problem with getting work done if that's what it takes. I'm almost certain FI's mom has had some because she looks amazing for 61.

    Uh, and I almost called him H instead of FI. Weird.

  • I'm about to care for two infants 45 hours a week. I bet that'll be enough baby for me for quite awhile. 
  • I think both my parents have aged pretty well, but they are really young to have a 28 and 30 year old.  My mom is about to turn 49 and my dad turns 50 this year, so I think I don't have that great of a concept of how it will be yet.

    Touche.  My younger sister's been married 3 times, so I get that.  I am defintely happy I waited for the right guy, but it wasn't like I was fending them off with a stick - there was just no one!  Biology just sucks.  I mean, I don't know that we'll have fertility problems, but no baby so far . . .

  • H wants kids, he just doesn't know when. I don't know when either. It's frustrating to me because I would like to have an idea of when we can start ttc but I can't because we don't know if he is going to stay in the military or not and that impacts our time frames a bit.

  • If our finances and life situation allows it, I would like to start TTC a year after we get married, so just a bit before I turn 28. I think I'd like to have my kids at 28, 30 and 32, but we'll see if life has other plans :)

    We are on the fence about being parents.  We are torn on whether to do surragacy or adoption and the cost makes us extremely apprehensive.  I just don't want to get my heart set on it and then not be able to afford it.

  • Whew! Caught up!

    Related to the conversation, I guess my confession is that I have anxiety nearly daily about having kids. I get baby fever when I'm around them, but I don't feel ready to have one yet. But, I'll be 31 next week, and would probably like to have 2 kids, and I feel like there's just not enough time. And so I get anxiety about it. Because I don't want to start TTC tomorrow, but if we wait much longer, how the hell am I going to successfully pop multiple children out?

    Also, I like our life and am entirely too selfish to deal with a kid -- and I'm afraid that will never go away even though the idea of kids sounds nice.

    The funny thing is, I never really had a biological clock, but for some reason it seems to have started loudly ticking the moment H put that ring on my finger.
