*Monday QOTD*

I know we're all TTC, but what did you/do you like best about your child-free life?

DH and I love to travel. He goes a little crazy if we don't take a trip every few months or so. I love being able to pick up an go anywhere we want, without worrying about nap schedules and night feedings. I admit, it's something I'm going to miss when we have children.

I loved all the extra $$$. Since having my DD I left my teaching job in the city to be a F/T SAHM and while I love every second of it and wouldn't change a thing it was VERY nice having a lot of disposable income.

Being able to do nothing!! I love being able to come home after a long day and just plop on the couch. Also, I love being able to just pick up and go - like if we want to go out for drinks, we just go - no calling around for a sitter.
I don't want to loose that, but I know it will be worth it in the end

Re: *Monday QOTD*

I am going to go with all of the above! Chat Icon

I love being able to go where we want, when we want, without having to give it much thought about money or other responsibilities and that would obviously change when we have a child. Also as pp said, having the luxury of doing nothing at all. OH, and saying goodbye to me dear friend sleep. Sleep and I have had a love affair for a long time. It's going to be a tough, tough breakup Chat Icon

Re: *Monday QOTD*

Every now and then (like this past saturday) DH and I have a lazy day where we literally just lay in bed all day watching movies doing ABSOLUTELY nothing. I will miss those days!!!

LOL Can you tell i've been to the grocery store with my kids today?Chat Icon

Re: *Monday QOTD*

I think I'll miss sleep the most. And being able to stay out late if we want and then stay in bed till 2 in the afternoon the next day.

Re: *Monday QOTD*

Theres a bunch of stuff.. lol
We love the fact that we can do what we want when we want. if we want to lay in bed all day thats fine or if we dont want to eat dinner till 7:30 not a big deal.
I like tht we can BD anytime we want theres no one here to stop us! lol
O and if we want to go out for a movie or dinner we can..

As much as we love all these i think the joy have having a child will over take all these!! :)

Re: *Monday QOTD*

Like the many above
1. sleep
2. staying out late
3. having extra money
4. a lot of the freedoms

truthfully we have had a puppy for a few months now and I already feel I have given up a lot of these things and he's worth it so I am sure I won't mind as much with kids too!
