Ugh! I've been in your shoes lols. Two of my coworkers are already married and I'm the only one who isn't in our department. Now they are talking about babies and one of my coworkers is pregnant and she will be due next year Feb which means I have to take over her work wahhhhhh!!! lol
Yikes! Luckily babies aren't coming anytime soon in our department. The one person who is married, not having kids. The one who just got engaged, doesn't want kids for at least a year or two, and she'd be the first one. Now another one of my coworkers just got engaged, but she's been with her boyfriend for like five years so it's totally expected now.

Re: kids being unpaid labor: LMFAO, you guys must not know the parents I know - probably half of my friends that are parents ask their kids to do NOTHING! The other half pay age-appropriate allowances and give extra privileges for reasonable chores. My biggest gripes about kids today (which makes me feel really, really old) is that they make TV and video games a priority over going out and climbing trees/playing sports/etc., and that most of them are fed sugary and processed crap. BF has 50/50 custody with his ex-wife. The kids outright refuse the healthy food in the house and 'hate all vegetables' - I was able to sneak in some kale into a homemade marinara, though, hehe.
Kids these days ...

It is soooo easy to make a tasty healthy meal, unfortunately some adults won't do that and this is what happened

Road head is amazing!!!! :D
And very VERY dangerous...
Agreed! I think it's much better to have kids at a later age. I'm not done with enjoying a free kids life for now lols.
im conflicted a little as to what age is best to have your children. i had my daughter at 21, and while it was incredibly difficult at that age, so are all of the adultive transitions, new found responsibilities and transformations you are making. i love now in my almost mid thirties, having an almost teenage daughter who is also my closest friend as well as my child. im not too old to be "uncool" to her, and still young enough to keep up with trends and playing with her actively. in saying that though, id love to have another child at this age. you are so much more settled into your own skin, and lifestyle; and know what you want out of life. everything runs at a much cruisier pace than it did when i was in my 20's and would love to give myself wholely into the parenthood experience at this age.
There are tons of debates of when is the ideal time to have kids. I'm 22, so I can't even imagine having a kid at age 21, or really anytime in the near future. For me, it'd completely ruin my life. (I'm not going to have kids at all though.) But, like you said, now she's older and you're still young, you can bond differently than a teenager and a 50 year old... which is nice. I'm betting it'll be even better once she's done high school ... depending on what she's like in high school. I know I hated my parents in high school but liked them once I was done high school lol and we could hang out much better. I think my parents were in their early-mid 20s when they had me.
