Of course you don't ever want to take back having your children, but, once you do have them, it's something you CAN'T ever take back. It's not like moving from NY to Texas and deciding, nah. Once you decide, it's forever. So enjoy every moment of your "I don't feel like it" moments... for soon you too might have a crankster prankster on your hands.</p> You’re a lovebug.

And I'm not entirely against the idea, but of course it would have to be to the right man at the right time. Not just for sport. </p><br /><br /><p>On the other hand, most of my married friends seem to envy my flexibility and the control I have over my own life. Yes I bear all the responsibility, but I also get to make all the decisions. It's not bad, I have to admit. To the person who commented that she's 'tired of babysiting', amen. That seems to be the defect, doesn't it? Men who never grow up are a dime a dozen. In fact, it might actually be a gender issue; growing up seems to be optional for the opposite sex.</p> I don’t know if divorced counts as single here, but I have to say that after seven years, I still get a lot of pressure to remarry… according to most people, someone, anyone, it seems, would be preferable to my current lonely lifestyle.

I, too, have misplaced my feelings of societal pressure to get committed, a dog, a baby and a house. Unless of course, it's House ;) Then I'm all over his babies, baby! </p> I heart House!
