Reason why I don’t have/want kids:

1. I like to sleep.
2. I like to travel without hassle.
3. I like to be spontaneous.
4. They are expensive even when they are cheap. I would want my kids to have the best of everything.
5. I can’t birth my own children.
6. Adoption is expensive.
7. No kids for us means no visits from ‘grandparents’.
8. My mom is not alive to help me out.
9. I fear that I would be a ‘lazy’ mom.
10. I don’t want the hurt that kids can bring on their parents.
11. This world is a scary place to raise children these days.
12. I’m afraid something would change in my relationship w/ my hubby.

The one reason I think about having kids…..
13. I wanna scrap their pictures!

We'll have to let our good friend, the soon-to-be psychologist, say for sure, but I think you're doggone healthy to be so clear-headed and concise about such a subject! Really.

And some of your Nos. totally cracked me up. 'Specially No. 7.

Oh, yeah, I forgot something. I still have about 15 years worth of baby, toddler, and school days pictures of the boys any 'ol time you get a hankering to scrap kids layouts. Just give me a holler...

Oh, and hey.... I got some too, just in case Staci doesn't have enough for ya!

Oh, it just dawned on me, am I who Staci was talking about!? I crack myself up! HA! Okay. It's late. What can I say? What I hear you saying is that you have thought this over quite a bit (beyond and before 1-13) and you cognitively weighed the options and have come to a clear conclusion. Yep... Staci was right! Love ya!
