Re: What part of your "child free" life would you hate to give up the most?
I can relate to the pet thing. We knew we wanted a dog but didn't want to make our first a puppy because we were going to have to get used to having a responsibility first! I'm very glad we didn't get a puppy now. It's not hard per se to care for him, it's just something I need to consider before I make plans.
A puppy... I don't know if I could handle that.

When Lana was a puppy, I nearly had a nervous break down! We just adopted another dog who's already two years old and it is so much easier!

me too! i was so close to bringing him back to the breeder because he needed so much attention and was literally acting like a baby. but we've pulled through and he's my furbaby. anytime my mom asks when shes getting a grandchild i say she already has one.

Sleeping late, being able to be spontaneous, our quiet evenings together.

Initially, I think the not being able to sleep through the night thing would be really rough. I am NOT able to function well when I don't get enough sleep.
Other than that, the ability to get out the door in under an hour in the morning.

Re: What part of your "child free" life would you hate to give up the most?
getting uninterrupted sleep... i NEED my sleep and i'm horrible if i don't sleep well... so i can't imagine if we had a baby!!
also- being able to go out to nice dinners every weekend. i like the break from cooking, but it would be a lot harder to afford if we had kids.

Last minute dinners with the girls! Being able to just do something spur of the moment! The fact that I'll have to actually cook every night and can't just say "umm...I think I'll just eat cereal tonight"

Being able to do what we want when we want to do it - like deciding to go away for the weekend on a moments notice.

Re: What part of your "child free" life would you hate to give up the most?
I would miss being able to drive down to visit my parents/friends whenever I want (They live three hours away)
I would miss my routine. After work, DH and I go running. This would be more difficult with children.
I would miss being able to go out for drinks on Friday with the people that I work with.
I would miss sleep. To be honest, DH and I do not sleep in too late, but I know on workdays if we had a child, we would have to wake up even earlier than our 5:30 am start time.

Re: What part of your "child free" life would you hate to give up the most?
Hmm.....
- Sleeping later on the weekends
- Just being able to go somewhere without having to worry about packing up the car for "baby"
- Going out for dinner and drinks with friends and DH whenever I want
I could think of a lot of things. That's a big reason why I don't want children.

Coming home from a long day at work and laying on the couch to recoup from the day...that won't be a possibility and I don't know how I'll do it!
