Marrieds choosing not to have kids

[maddhatir]

Still debating whether to head up there in March when filming supposedly begins to get a glimpse of Mr. Depp.

Debating!? There is no debating when JD is only 45 minutes away!!!

I think I would be able to SMELL him if he was 45 minutes away!

Well CF peoples I am leaving 3:15am Sat morning for my vacation to Mexico! Just in case I can't pop in tomorrow......adios amigos!

I just checked the weather for Playa del Carmen and all week it syas it will be in the 80's and sunshine- however, they also give you the "reel-feel" temos and they go anywhere from 90 to 100!!!

DH is sick as a dog right now with a 102 fever! He went to the docs yesterday and is on an antibiotic, decongestant and cough medicine. He is all bundled up in his fleece blankeys downstairs on the couch sleeping. I am crossing my fingers he feels at least 50% better by Sat morning just so he can at least get to the airport, get the luggage checked in and settled in on the plane etc- once we get there he can relax in the room or on the beach- and he should be all better by mid-week *hopefully*

I'm so envious... we have 29 more days until we leave for Cancun - I'm so ready for some sunshine & white sand...not white snow!


If he is on meds. by Sat. he should be okay, may not be feeling great, but should at least be able to travel. Although you might want to think about doing curb-side bag check. Save yourselves having to haul your bags any further than necessary. If he is still run down the less extra effort the better.

Travel safe & have a great time!!!

But just think I will then be envious of you b/c I will be back already! Where are you staying in Cancun? (ETA- Hold on- I know- you are stayng at the Iberostar- I remember talking about it- I am sorry)

Can you do curbside with International flights?? Also we are doing a charter flight through USA3000- they may need to weigh our bags and all that happy horsecrap.

We are doing the parking, where, you drive to the lot- they jump in YOUR car and drive you to the airport, help you to get your bags out and then bring your car back to their lot.

When we come home- we just pick up the phone, call the lot and they come get us with our car. So hopefully the first part will be less stress on DH- I will probably drive us to the parking lot. He can chill in the passenger's side.

Typically you can NOT do curbside on international flights as they have to do a passport check. Some airports do have the new kiosks inside where you can swipe yours, though. Then you get your bag tags and drop your luggage - still quicker than waiting in line.

Have fun!!

I am one who needs to talk to a real person in case I have any questions- I am afraid I will mess something up. We will be arriving at the airport around 4am- I doubt we will encounter a huge line

I am sorry- I said Yeti! My big mistake

Oh, no worries at all. It took a long time, but now I can talk about him without being too sad. And actually I like talking about him. He was a funny guy.... except for the day he tore my couch apart, but that's a whole other story.

HAVE FUN IN MEXICO!!!! I've still got just over 3 months until DH and I head down there. The time couldn't possibly be going by any slower! Have a fruity drink for me!!! And I want details when you get back, pretty please!

Actually we are at the Omni. It is a bit further up from downtown, but still a short cab ride to the clubs and restaurants. And being a bit further up means it is a bit quieter. I can't wait to get back (we have a time share) becuase they added a quiet pool (ie: no kids!!!) since last time we were there.

I actually thought it depended on the airline and the airport. So it probably depends on who you are flying & where you fly out of. Even if you could get one of those guys to give you a cart or haul your bags in to the counter for you it might be worth asking (and of course tossing the guy a couple $$ for it).

Travel Safe

Hello everyone! Hope you all don't mind if I sneak onto this thread. I am 25yo and my DH will be 27 tomorrow . We have been married for almost 6 years and have also decided not to have children. It is funny because when I was younger, like 14-15, I could not wait to get married and have kids but slowly as I have gotten older and discussed it more with my husband the less and less I want to have children, until now I am pretty much 100% on not having children.
I think that it is funny that our families completely support us in this decision, even though my mother wants grandchildren so badly she once offered to raise them if I would just have them, I am pretty sure she was joking . But it is my coworkers, patients (I am also an RN), and strangers that cannot seem to fathom it. Most of our friends have realized we are serious about not wanting kids. I love that their first response is "but you would be such a good mom/dad" Not to sound concieted but I know I would be a good mom, but there are times that I barely want to put the effort into training my dog, so I am pretty sure that I would not want to put the effort into raising children properly.
Wow I think this may be the longest post I have done, guess I needed to vent to those who understand. I will post later unless you kick me off for being long winded

Nope, you can't leave us now...there is strength in numbers.LOL WELCOME.

I know what you mean...I get the "But you would make god parents and don't you want a Little Richard or Samantha running around"...Ummmm NO.

I would only be a good parent if I had to and I don't want to HAVE TO do anything. I like my cats. I actually WANT them...Kids, not a chance.

Today we are going to see my youngest niece (7) play ringette (forthose who don't know what it is http://www.ringette.ca/Content/About/OurSport/AboutRingette.asp) and be the supportive aunt and uncle. That's just how I like it. I love my nieces and they love me. That's all I need.

Vent all you want, that's what we do here sometimes. We enjoy talking about all sorts of subjects, especially our fur babies as you have probably noticed. Have a magical day!

Ha Ha... my mom always told me "you have no patience, you better never have kids!" I don't think she ever really thought I'd take that advice to heart. But she is right, I really don't have alot of patience.

 

[starwarsdisney]

Wow, it's nice to see that there are other people out there that get these kids questions all the time. My wife and I knew we didn't want kids before we even got married. Now, don't get me wrong I like kids...I just don't want any of my own. That's what nephews and nieces are for, right? Both our families understand (it helps that there are kids on both sides now), but friends and co-workers just don't get it. Were very happy without kids and to be honest kids would just not work for us. I personally don't see what kids would add to our realtionship.

I completely agree, I get so irritated when people say, so what you don't like kids. No I really do enjoy kids, for the most part, but I like giving them back just as much.
I just wish people would get that just because they ask me the same question over and over again does not mean that they will eventually get a different answer. Especially after all the complaints that I hear about their "angels" day after day/

You know that's what gets me the most. The ones that endlessly ask you (or worse tell you) that you must have children act like they can't stand their own. We have said many times that those are the ones miserable with their own kids and want everybody to suffer since they are.

That is such a great point. I hate hearing that I should have kids from people that complain about their's. I think "angels" is the right way to put it.

I do like kids, I just don't want any. In fact I've coached youth soccer before and found it very rewarding. I just don't want to have to deal with that on a daily basis.

This statement is so true, misery loves company! I can't tell you how many people ask us, "don't you wonder what your life will be like when your in your senior years? Not having any grandchildren running around, won't you be bored?" Ah, NO! DH & I have been married for 20 years now & together a total of 26, we have a great relationship and enjoy each other's company immensely. Sometimes I think that is what they are jealous about, the great relationship we have, the traveling that we do and not to mention going home to peace & quiet at the end of the work day.

Ooohhhh, lucky you!!!!!! I'm sure you will have a blast. I told DH that one day I want to go on one of the Panama canal cruises. It would be better if it is Disney but I could do another cruise line for that. Of course I also told him I want to do an around the world cruise too!!!

Yeah for you and DH!!! DH and I have wanted to go on a Disney cruise but have been a little leary, lots more kiddies and less places for us to hide! I hope you two have a wonderful time!

DH and I have been on 2 cruises on DCL and haven't been bothered with kids too much, there are adult only places and for at sea days there are a lot of adult only activities like cooking classes, beer tasting etc. Plus since disney has such great kid activities lots of the little ones are in different areas.
I can't compare to other cruise lines since DCL is the only one we have been on, but we loved it
