Actually, the statement is somethng of a front and a joke (so is my PM answer). Reason being, if I say I'm thinking about having kids later, the in-laws and everyone else would pester me saying, "When are you going to have kids?" Of course, my favorite book "Baby NOT on Board" (yes, it's an actual book)... they have several witty and fun answers to that question. For example: When are you going to mind your own damn business? OR... When Minivans are hot and stretchmarks are sexy.
I won't have kids 'till I'm in my 30's or my husband knocks me up. Right now, I'm enjoying my 20's. I'm enjoying my job... and the quality time I get to spend with my signifcant other (*coff training him coff*). That and, of course, we can't afford kids right now. I make all the money and if I get laid up in bed for a couple months, we can't pay the rent even with just my LTD and/or STD benefits. Not only that, but I'm selfish and don't want to take care of a little parasite of my own... I mean bundle of joy.
For now... I really do hate babies... but maybe some time before I'm a shriveled husk of a woman my motherly instincts will kick in and I'll yearn to sport my own spawn (Ha, yeah right!)... 'till then, you know my stance. =)
