My boss is nuts. Seriously. Not only does she know EXACTLY what kind of relationship I should be having, but what kind of future we are planning. I was sitting at my desk, minding my own business, when her carpool buddy came by to show her a baby blanket she had knitted. It was pink and frilly, that's my take on it. I had just taken a big gulp of water when my boss blurted out, "This would be perfect for Odessa. She's planning on getting married and they'll be having a baby sometime after that." I choked on the water, spitting it everywhere. "Wha...!?!?!" was all I could get out. She held the blanket up, as if I was going to coo at it. "Leave me out of your baby plans please" was all I could say before cleaning up all the water.

Jake and I are NOT having children, outside of any accident. We're perfectly happy right now and not willing to give up our time. Selfish? Maybe. But at least we're sure of what we want. Too many people pop out children without understand how much of their personal life they are sacrificing. As in all of it... Everything changes when you have a kid. Your time becomes theirs and the money is tight. Right now we're living just within our means, and making plans that will make money tight. Besides... pregnancy scares the hell out of me. I fully admit to being terrified of the process. The things it does to your body and then there's the whole birthing process. *shudders* The only way I'd want to have a baby is if they came out of tubes. Just add semen and watch them grow! Fun for the whole family. Personally I'd still want a sea monkey family.

Yes, children take up ALL your time and literally DO change everything! Trust me, Diva, the carrying and birthing process.. eh, no biggie. You get over it. It's the next EIGHTEEN+ YEARS which hurt the most! LOL

Nothing wrong with being selfish. ;)
