One of the myriad of reasons people decide to marry — up there with sharing health benefits and getting a Dyson vacuum — is to start families. Mr. Caterpillar and I are on the 5 year plan — a compromise made up of his ideas of “Babies Right Now, RIGHT NOW!” and my feelings of “Before 35, but Not Much Before.” Interestingly, it seems that after men get over their (maybe real/maybe imagined/maybe socially imposed) notions of idealized bachelor life and choose to commit, they want to have families right away. In any case, I’m just wondering –
I’ve always thought I’d have a bevy of little boys running around playing tag football. Now that I’m older, and planning a career that would force me to either quit or put my baby(ies) in daycare forever, I’ve decided not to have any which is also fully supported by my fiance. However, we too have a 5 year plan. From 5 years after marriage, we’ll redecide if we want kids at all (esp after all our other married friends start popping out kiddies).
we had a plan… 2-21/2 years after marriage. but that seems so soon. honestly if i were younger, i think i could easily wait 4-5 years before having kids. married life is nice and i kinda want to enjoy it.
Well, Mr. Rose and I have have been happily child-free over 5 years now, and have no plans for the pitter-patter of little feet around our place — although we enjoy the pitter-patter of little paws.
I have fertility issues, and the effort, time and trouble it would have taken, especially considering Mr. Rose is in the Army and is constantly on deployment or in the field or working 12-14 hours a day — just plain not available for the actual trying to get me pregnant — would not have made trying fertility treatment worthwhile for us.
We gotten used to not having children, and are veyr comfortable now with being childfree — although we still have people asking us when we are going to get started with that…

Mrs. Caterpillar, New York/CA Age and Occupation in 06: 28, Corporate Attorney to be Fiance's Age and Occupation: 29, Musician Engagement Date: March 9, 2006 Wedding Date: September, 2006 Venue: Rooster Point About Me: I don't like Jeff Koons, mushy corn, or the unnecessary diacritical marks the New Yorker adds to words like cooperative. Also, I'm an obsessive compulsive when it comes to crafts. And not just the ordinary kind of obsessive compulsive who needs to have everything even and aligned. No. I've gilded the heads of pins to make sure they looked properly antique. Gilded them. Then coated them in german glass glitter. I am that crazy.
