Marriage & Babies...Ya Know...That Junk
Posted 03-21-2007 at 12:50 PM by Bonochick
It seems like all of my friends have gotten married and/or had babies. I don't want kids, and I don't have plans to get married. If Ernie and I were to get married, the only thing that would change is that I'd have a new last name, and we'd have a very expensive party to pay for.
I'm 25 years old. I love my life, but I don't feel like an adult. I'm not bothered by that...but I think it bothers me that I'm not bothered by it.

You're happy that's all that matters. Having kids and a husband doesn't make someone an adult. You have fur babies :heart:Posted 03-21-2007 at 12:56 PM by redkat

as long as both you and Ernie are happy with what's going on between you, it shouldn't matter. finding someone who makes you happy and someone you can be happy with is a great thing all by itself. I still don't feel like an adult at 26, but here I am getting married in a year. It's an odd feeling. happy, but odd.Posted 03-21-2007 at 02:39 PM by U2Girl416 -
Ah yes! I totally understand. Been there, done that. First my hubby and I got married right out of college, but we both were not interested in having kids. We got married in '93 and we didn't have our son until last year after I turned 36. When I was 31 I still wasn't ready to have kids. Even though I was married my hubby let me do my own thing. I hung out with my friends and went to rock concerts. He was hopping from band to band. It wasn't until the Fall of 2005 that we said we were ready to take the next step. And during all those years of marriage, yes we did have our parents asking where the grandkids were. But we stuck with our guns and always made sure we were happy and comfortable first. So it's OK to feel the way you feel. There's no more "rules" on marriage and babies. Do what you want. My hubby and I did everything backwards. We traveled and enjoyed ourselves first before we had kids. Again, it's all about being happy and forget the norm. Take a look at the group of guys that we love. Adam has no kids and is not married. I don't think Larry is even married to his life long girlfriend and mother of their children. So don't worry about it! Have fun! :wink:
Oh, and if y'all decide to get married and don't want to spend a bunch of money, elope and head for Vegas!Posted 03-21-2007 at 04:21 PM by Allegra
