Re: So what if I do not want to have kids?
Numb, you are right to stand your ground and I know how hard it is to endure the comments, suggestions and opinions of those who are NOT ASKED to give them!!! They are JUST the worst!!! Rise above it and do whats right for YOU and your hubby. The persuit of happiness is your personal right. As for those who dont understand, skrewem!!! Looking back at all of the condescending "advice" that I received without asking for it...it seems that its exactly those people who are the most unhappy with their OWN lives. If you get really annoyed with the free advice, you might be able to find a way to point that out - that its usually the people who are unhappiest with their own lives that cannot understand why you conduct your life differently - that might shut them up. Not for long I'm sure. But maybe enough to give you a little break.
Either way though, just try to let it roll off your back, no worries. Just keep on the way that is best for you.
