Re: Today's Question: 3/20
What do you do?
I need to accept that the job market sucks right now. DH isn't pushing me to find a job, but I've always been the "independent person" in that I have been able to take care of me, even after we got married. Now things have flipped.
Other than that I'm with MrsZ. I don't necessarily have an aversion to having children, I'm just second guessing myself, which isn't a good thing when DH is really excited about that possibility.It'll happen when it happens and we'll be very lucky and thankful for that. :-) I just need to keep that mindset. :-)

BTW-congrats LILAngel!!! I cannot wait to meet your lil one!!!
*Putting on my judgey pants*
When I see people who are having children with NO reservations whatsoever, I assume they're going to suck as parents. I think becoming a parent is the BIGGEST decision any person will ever make... Bigger even than picking your spouse, and I think it's good and responsible to be a little cautious and to second-guess yourself when thinking about it. I'm not saying that people are incapable of it or that parenting is bad or anything, but with any enormously life-changing decision like that, it almost seems like people aren't even taking it seriously if they don't second-guess themselves a little.
Understandable-and not "judgey" at all.
We've been talking about having kids since we started dating, so it's not exactly a new topic for us. :-)
It'll happen when it happens and we're excited about that-not near as excited as we will be when it does, but still, that's a good place to be I think.
March 2011 moved to WA from Charleston, SC
live in Mill Creek, work in Seattle, DH works in Mt Vernon
I'm with jsvb, I can be so lazy. DH was complaining about this last night. I have dishes that need to be put away, the fridge needs cleaning out and I need to clean the bathtub. I'm only lazy when it comes to cleaning & then it's a mad dash to pick up , wash, sweep, mop, etc. before company comes!! I really just want to sit here and chill, but I shouldn't because company will be here in about six hours.
This is me to a "T" though I feel no desire nor need to change it haha.
My time management skills and organization.
I just do so much that sometimes I lose track of stuff or forget about stuff. Its funny because my mom is one of those people who is so insanely organized. She alphabetizes her spices. My husband is the same way. He is so particular about his clothes. His socks go into drawerA, colored undies in drawerB, white undies in another drawer...I'm lucky if my clothes make it into my dresser!
I'm also horrible with my time management. Which is crazy because I'm the type of person who you can ask me what time it is and without looking at a watch I can just have a feel for the day and know what time it is within 15 minutes. I just never know how much time I need to devote to everything!
I'm a project manager---for a lot of internal bs projects. I need more meaningful work, that's all.
Don't feel bad, dh and I have been together for almost 10 yrs and finally decided ttc. He knows I'm afraid of commitment. It finally feels right though, I'm not second guessing myself, It just feel like it's the right time. Kinda funny, I went for my annual and ob asked if I was ttc---I said 'kinda'. He said 'you are 30----not that that's old, but I wouldn't wait any longer' That helped me feel more comfortable with my decision too, we'll see how long it takes.
