What part of your "child free" life would you hate to give up the most?

i think just the freedom to go out whenever we feel like it.

DH and i love to just call up friends and say 'lets gtg for a some drinks" just as much on a tues nite as we do on a saturday. i like knowing that if we wanted to get in the car and take a weekend trip--we can--without worrying about baby sitters or anything.

this is exactly how I feel!

Definitely traveling, free time, picking up and just going, and my money for me!

I agree, its the freedom to come and go as we please

The freedom! for sure! Its bad enough that I have to find a sitter for my dog when I go away but at least when I leave the house for a few hours I know I can leave him alone lol

I can relate to the pet thing. We knew we wanted a dog but didn't want to make our first a puppy because we were going to have to get used to having a responsibility first! I'm very glad we didn't get a puppy now. It's not hard per se to care for him, it's just something I need to consider before I make plans.

A puppy... I don't know if I could handle that.

When Lana was a puppy, I nearly had a nervous break down! We just adopted another dog who's already two years old and it is so much easier!

Sleeping late, being able to be spontaneous, our quiet evenings together.

You need to find one of these for your breed:

Initially, I think the not being able to sleep through the night thing would be really rough. I am NOT able to function well when I don't get enough sleep.

Other than that, the ability to get out the door in under an hour in the morning.

I am going to miss....

*picking up and hitting the road with friends, DH

*Ciggarettes (I know, I know)

*Partying with DH and friends on weekends (not to say we NEVER can but it will certaintly change things.

*Sleeping late, napping etc....

sleeping late, not having DH all to myself anymore, not being able to do/go what/where I want at the drop of a hat....

getting uninterrupted sleep... i NEED my sleep and i'm horrible if i don't sleep well... so i can't imagine if we had a baby!!
also- being able to go out to nice dinners every weekend. i like the break from cooking, but it would be a lot harder to afford if we had kids.

Last minute dinners with the girls! Being able to just do something spur of the moment! The fact that I'll have to actually cook every night and can't just say "umm...I think I'll just eat cereal tonight"

My freetime
Sleep
DRINKS (which calls for plenty of the above when you've had too much..sleep)

Being able to do what we want when we want to do it - like deciding to go away for the weekend on a moments notice.

Sleep
Going out to see my friends for dinner or shopping w/o having to worry about a sitter

can I add another one?

I learnt, or was reminded, the hard way last weekend that babies and necklaces don't mix

Sex on the living room floor in the middle of the afternoon.
