I agree with this, hormones will get her, they always do!

I might as well
I fucking doubt it though

if anything seeing her sister and husband, and my brother and wife having kids has put her off more.

I used to hate kids then my cousin had two
and they're bad, whiney, screaming little twats.
But they are sweet and kind and loving.
And amazing.

edit: sorry, I guess my point is that you know your kids will be different

I'm familiar with all the arguments
but the fact is I'm a horrible impatient bastard.

people often tell me I'd be a good dad. to me this just means they don't know me well at all.

But when you actually have kids
you'll be surprised. When I was an au pair I actually found it really good fun.

I wouldn't want to have kids on the basis that I might be surprised at how well I deal with it
on a more practical note, even if we were to have them, we couldn't afford them any time soon. My mortgage is fucking enormous and I don't have enough cash for my liking anyway.

I'd rather not have them than bring them into a household where we can't afford to do anything because of them. That's a shitty recipe for resentment.
