Why I Waited So Long.

As you may or may not know... PD and I are in our late thirties and don't have kids. I have nothing against kids. I'm still hoping to become a parent. Right now we are having trouble. In the beginning of our marriage both of us weren't ready...financially and emotionally. We were happy being an aunt and uncle to other people's kids(siblings and friends.) Now reading Coincutter's blog about his dealings with his step-kids confirmed another reason we waited. I commented on his post titled "Redwolftimes" about my cousin, Carebear's son, Steven. He's sort of like Gary's step-son, Stephen. He has no ambition to better himself and is contantly clashing with others around him. I'll give my cousin Steven some slack because he has a father that doesn't give a rat's ass about him. His first step-father was an abusive asshole that beat him for no reason. In fact that was one of the reasons Carebear divorced him(that and the fact that he tried to bed my other cousin who is even younger than Carebear...she is 16 years younger than her first husband and my other cousin is 12 years younger than her.) Back to my point. Steven was also allowed to be a brat when he was little. His grandparents were constantly yelling at Carebear(btw...in case you didn't figure out. I'm talking about my aunt and uncle aka Carebear's parents) for trying to discipline him. His uncle Coondog even tried and failed. Anyway kids like Steven scared the hell out of me and made me and PD not want kids. Now that we are ready, we can't. Adoption scares the hell out of me because of seeing what my parents went through(and are still going through)with my youngest sister. She was in and out of rehab. In and out of jail. Shit out three kids(none of which she is raising.) Someday I hope PD gets pregnant but I'm coming to terms that we won't be parents. We can instead be the best Aunt and Uncle our nieces and nephews can ask for.
'nuff said.
