I love them to death, but I dont want my whole life to revolve around a baby. Maybe I will one day, and I hope so. I think right now, Im basically too selfish to think of anyone else but me at this time in my life.


is that horrible? god, I feel like such a bad person!!
Goodness, no! You are not a bad person!! In fact, what you are saying is a very responsible, UN-selfish thing! Babies and children are a HUGE responsibility, and some (not the majority!) jump into it thinking it's all going to be fun and games and dressing them up in cute outfits. For the most part, it is. Kids are amazing and wonderful. But it's way, way more than that. Way more. Good for you for being responsible and honest and knowing exactly what you want!!

By the way, I cannot stand people that constantly talk about their kids---okay, in all honesty I do talk about my son, but not all the time and not every little detail. I have friends like that, and even if we're out at a bar they monopolize the conversation and give me a minute by minute account of what their kids did and said that day. And I can't forget the pictures!! I also dated a guy like that years ago--he actually brought up something cute his son said when we were "busy"! Talk about killing a moment....eewww.
