And like Kara said, you get a built-in excuse to do corny things like Chuckie Cheese and carnivals. But, we did really enjoy the almost decade we had before we had kids -- one advantage of getting married very young! You send them to their grandparents when you need to do grown up things.

I do understand people who are attached to a childless lifestyle, but it's pretty hard for anybody to complain about babies/children in a general sense and not come off as self-hating. Not having kids won't keep anyone from becoming boring and old. People start out boring and time takes care of the rest.

Seriously I have no idea why people want them so badly. Why would someone *want* to be a boring old, loose-as-a-goose housewife with no freedom to do anything 'because of the kids'? i never changed a baby either, and I never will. Their shit has the same sort of appearance as Dijon mustard but it smells exactly 1,000,000 times worse. women who have kids have a tendency to turn into boring old sods anyway Yuck. babies.

Neither was diaper-age. I didn't have younger siblings, like some people who have changed diapers. I babysat once, for two deaf kids. Neither was diaper-age.
