[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]it's called google people.[/b] just google DINK if you didn't know what it is. I do think it's good to consider this, but the truth is you really won't know until you have kids. Although I found myself bored with life a bit before having kids (going out to dinner with friends over and over, same weekends, etc.) I still mourned the loss of my freedom when the kids came along, and I really felt like i'd done a lot of single living (traveled, lived on my own, etc.). the frustrating thing about being a parent is that you can't do it part time. You can't borrow a kid for say, 3 months, and then have 3 months off to go to Paris or whatever. I think if it weren't that way, it'd be much easier! things that might make it easier to make the sacrifice: 1) if you like kids 2) if you keep your job after you have kids 3) if you have realistic expectations and realize you can do more as they get older, but the early years are tough 4) if you have local family or can pay for babysitters/frequent breaks. only you can decide if you want to try.[/quote] Or posters could actually take the extra 20 seconds to actually type the words.[/quote]
