I can't stand it when married friends say they're not ready for kids and have so many things they still want to do. Most of these people are well-accomplished (education & career-wise), have traveled extensively, etc. What more do you want? And then they complain when they're 37 and can't get pregnant right away.

Aw, we've all been there. My brother had been married forever and I remember thinking after a visit where my boys were hellions - "He's never going to have kids if he thinks they are always like this" (They get really overexcited during his visits). But he was finally ready - two months later he and his wife announced she was pg and he said that his visit got him trying as soon as he got back! [ Reply | More
