I wish I was ready...Thanks for your comment Kathy. I wish I was ready to have kids young. But I'm glad I waited, b/c who knows where I'd be. I always had long term relationships and was ready to marry each one of them, but I'm glad I decided to wait until I graduated college to get married.....then after that, the guy I with completely changed and I ended up meeting my now DH, so I'm glad I waited. When DH and I moved in together, we realized ALL the issues that came along with homeownership and that's when I started being VERY frugal and couponing. I put a lot of money away as the years went on and now we are pretty much stable. I'm just more worried about pregnancy. DH is more worried about AFTER the baby is here. But when we sat with my BFF and actually spoke of what we were worried about, it just sounded so minimal the worries we had. My husband's BIGGEST worry is our condo. Whether or not we stay or rent it out and move into a house, I keep telling him and showing him blogs about people that have lived or still do live in a tiny 500 square foot apartment with one or multiple children. You make due with what you have is what I keep telling him.<br /><br />I'm a worrier by nature, and he's more of a laid back guy, but I guess my worrying ways have grown on him. <br /><br />Another silly worry is our cat. She's an only child type of cat. We can't have any other animals in here (cats, dogs, etc - we've tried), she won't be having it. She also doesn't like kids. When my 6 year old nephew comes over to visit, he will go to pet her (very softly) and she gets aggravated and groans and goes to swat at him. I'm 100% against declawing her, so we did not do that...however, I have told DH if we have a baby and she swats at him, I will declaw her. His reaction was instead of doing that, he will throw the cat out. Cannot do that, she is part of our family. Hopefully if and when we have one, Lucky will get along with her brother or sister :)spaghetti0625https://www.blogger.com/profile/07906887854962265820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2076486755925869514.post-55516317713688354142011-10-25T10:58:34.067-07:002011-10-25T10:58:34.067-07:00I can only say "I'm glad I had my kids yo...I can only say "I'm glad I had my kids young." I am a young Grandma now and can enjoy it all. If you wait until you are financially secure you will never have children Some people don's want to have children and that's fine too. We were so financially "insecure" when our first was born, we had to use gift money to buy a crib!!! I know you will make the best decision for you.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17727813353931883657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2076486755925869514.post-76291190560174072572011-10-24T08:54:43.171-07:002011-10-24T08:54:43.171-07:00I had it set to do that way back when I first set ...I had it set to do that way back when I first set this up. And that way if anyone I know posts something personally about me (phone numbers, addresses, etc) then it won't go public. Just trying to protect myself and my bloggers.

So why moderate the comments? I don't feel like I can give you my honest opinion knowing you'll just delete what I say if I hurt your feelings.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00375093409536364707noreply@blogger.com
