I am 33, too, so I am starting to think about that as well. Dh is 40, so he has been thinking it's too late to have children for the reason you mentioned. Of course, if we did change our minds, things would be fine and God would take care of us... but that's how he's thinking right now.

So, i'm old enough to make a life altering permanent decision that affects an innocent life that didn't ask to be brought into the world, but I'm too young to make an alterable decision that ultimately really only affects my hubby and I. Where's the logic in that?
There is no logic there... It has always amazed me that young women who are still growing up themselves are encouraged to start their families so young for the "energy" it takes to raise children. It's obviously not about logic all around.

Oh, I'll go you one better than that.
After I married at 24, and up to my mid 30's, I was told I was too young to decide I didn't want children. But, if I had told people we were "trying", I doubt anyone would tell me I was too young to decide I wanted a child. So, i'm old enough to make a life altering permanent decision that affects an innocent life that didn't ask to be brought into the world, but I'm too young to make an alterable decision that ultimately really only affects my hubby and I.

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about....sheesh...
Very good point my dear....

It was very weird this weekend for me. I went to a mini family reunion on Saturday. And, I was the only on in my family who is not married and with kids. My uncle decided he needed to pull me off to the side to let me know that I needed to get married and start a family or I would just be miserable for the rest of my life.
Grrrrrrrrrrr............. It really made me angry. I don't see this part of the family very much and this is the one thing they feel the need to say to me?
So, I stayed pretty quiet, and was glad to get out of there. And, I was bad in that I was so mad I didn't tell them about Ray (with the exception of one cousin and his wife) nor did I tell them about my move. As far as I am concerned, they can get that info when I send out a mass e-mail with my new address.

Don't you all just love all the "rules" that others put us under.
1. You must have X amount of kids
2. You must have them by the time you are X age
3. They must be so many months apart or they won't be close. (this is the one that curls my toes)
4. Or, they can't be too close together or they won't get the parental attention they need.
5. You need to have these X kids so that someone will take care of you when you are old.
6. You can not have only one. You can't raise them alone
Who says I say

Tif...
....LOL about the grandcats. One Christmas I got a t-shirt for my dog that said "I'm the grand daughter" on it. Then there was a matching shirt for my mom that said "I'm the Grand Mother." My mom was not to thrilled, but I laughed for a month or so about it.
Good times......

Ack...soda does burn.........
Ok, so I'm starting to think that there is something wrong with my brain in that I just have a really warped view of pregnancy and childbirth and such. Not only do I never want to TTC or be pregnant, but I have a really REALLY hard time understanding and accepting others who do want to be pregnant, are preganant.....love pregnant people.
I know that sounds bad, but it is how I feel. I just don't understand all the squelly excitement and everything around it.

I don't understand the dramatic excitement, either, but I have always assumed that was because I have a more realistic, not-overly-sensitive, low-key personality. I like to stay in reality and keep emotions real, not hyped up for attention.
Do you get squelly about anything? I don't.

Once in a great while. I got squelly when Ray called me and he was state side...but that is really the first time in a long time I had felt that way. It takes a lot for me to get that way and romance nor babies do that for me....LOL!

fine Elena...pick on my lack of spelling skills......
Squealy is the word I meant to use. Squeamish is how I feel about pregnancy/childbirth/little babies..... Excited? Not so much.....
Sheesh.....
