The kids discussion

Since my husband and I got married we've occasionally talked about having kids and the conversation is usually the same:

Me: "I want kids."

Him: "Not now."

Me: "Well, now is the perfect time...We have no expenses...I have a great job."

Him: "I'm in graduate school, making $10k a year. Talk to me when we BOTH have fulltime jobs."

Me: deep sigh...

Well, here is the quote of the day from my lovely husband after having another such conversation:

"Kids: they're like teddy bears that cost a lot of money."

I love my husband and do appreciate his side of the argument. Having kids does cost money and is (or so I've heard from everyone who has one) a lot of work. He is very rational and I am very irrational when it comes to this discussion...I wish it wasn't that way, but there it is.

Stay tuned...
