A lot has happened so far this year, and some things have genuinely surprised me. TGW went into the hospital for an infection and will need surgery, but is doing well nonetheless. That was just a lot to deal with in the past few days.
But wait, there's more!

You MUST have a baby to fill your big HOUSE!
No, no, I must have more STUFF.
A major pet peeve as one of the new generation of IDonWannaBabies clan members is the constant insistence that a newly married/shortly married person must absolutely right now reproduce. There are many problems with this constant demand, whether it be from my own parents or from complete strangers, not the least of which is that it's not their business.
I recently bought a house with my husband of 3 years. It's huge. It has technically-four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and is spectacularly old. We only use one of the bedrooms as a bedroom. However, I repeatedly get demands about how I will fill this house without baybeez.
I never truly know how to respond to this question, because to me, the logical answer is "Stuff.", but this doesn't sit well with most people. After all, it's shallow, materialistic and selfish to want to buy things and have things that you want without first wasting away hundreds of thousands of dollars on the livelihood of another human being who may or may not take the time to make sure you don't end up in a shitty nursing home.
