  • LOL! What a funny poll!

    You know my answer. No prob on the email! I have to force myself to write back to people sometimes  :)

  • I was just reading through Zee's post and I think practically everyone in that post is a mom/soon-to-be mom, and I started to wonder if the spawnless J9ers were now in the minority. :)

    Haha - just checking - when I voted there were 2 "yes" votes so I had to ask.

  • I voted no, obviously. If anyone remembers birdcagebride though, she just had her little boy yesterday. The number of spawnless J9'ers is steadily decreasing.

    That reminds me: Yesterday at my housewarming at least three people asked the dreaded kid question. My mom said, "C'mon already. You're almost 30, you know?"

    Oh how I hate that question... we got it so often - and it was so awkward when we were actually trying.  My parents weren't terrible but they were definitely asking/hinting.  DH's parents claim they are not ready to be grandparents, they are too young (they are 10 years older than my parents though).

  • I was a little curious if there was an announcment in here as well.  Not necessarily from Mamie but...

    And the questions don't stop even if you have one.  I don't think I was out of the hospital when I was asked when we would have another. Sorry to burst the bubble.

  • I was feeling particularly snarky when someone asked me once. My response? "We'll think about having kids once people forget how much money they spent on our wedding presents and will buy us good shower gifts." Luckily, the person I was talking to burst out laughing and thought it was hilarious...they also haven't asked me since Wink

    No interest in babies any time soon, thankyouverymuch.

  • Mames, I'll be staying spawnless with you for longer than I thought! With still no permanent job, we can't even consider it. Plus, we're still waffling between another dog or a baby first.  FTR, I vote for another dog first.
    We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it.

  • No babies yet and I don't have a specific time frame in mind. I was kinda thinking maybe after our vacation in February but a girl I work with recently told me how expensive her daycare is and that scared me off. I wouldn't mind waiting at least 2 more years now especially since we weren't thinking about babies too seriously to begin with

    Ouch.  You know, because 30 is the worst thing that can happen.

    I told DH I wanted to go on a blowout vacation for our 30th birthdays (in 3 years) and wanted to go to Europe together before having kids.  So I guess we won't be having kids for 3 more years.

  • No babies here and no timeframe in mind!

    Oh yes, that's quite the fun comment isn't it? I'm totally not on the ball.. my 30th birthday is in 16 days. It's already too late for me!!! I guess I'll have to forget about ever having children now that I'm practically 30! LOL

    We're old and dried up! Don't you know!

  • I think it's so nosy when people ask so I try to come up with something fun to say back. My go to answer is "No, we haven't started trying for kids, but we practice trying all the time". I also told a member of DH's family that I couldn't have kids because DH was shooting blanks. I was clearly annoyed that day.

    This. One of my best friends asked me this when she came to visit! Ummm, how about I figure this kid out before talk of a second. People are amazing.

  • I am still spawnless and probably will be for a long time...likely forever.  Unless my back ever gets better and stays better for a long period of time, I refuse to get pregnant.  Now that the doctors are referring me to a rheumatologist to get tested for fibromyalgia...the chances are becoming even slimmer.  Can't really say I'm disappointed, though.  I was never sold on the spawning thing anyway...
