Reasons NOT to have children

So many of my friends have been having children lately. Some say how wonderful it is and others begrudgingly admit that it can be a pain in the ass. So I've compiled a list of reasons to just say no. ;-)

• Space to focus on a education.
• Uninterrupted conversations.
• Travel that's truly impulsive and adventurous (and never involves zoos).
• Unpremeditated Saturday nights on the town, or Tuesday nights as the case may be.
• Stretches of quiet for reading or relaxing.
• A non-child-proofed, non-toy-strewn, non-goldfish-cracker-crumb-riddled home. (that ones for you mom)
• Eight (or nine) uninterrupted hours of sleep a night.
• All without any guilt that one should be spending more quality time with the kid.
