The Having Kids Debate


2009

I don’t think things are going to work out with the short guy. One of the rea­sons my ex and I didn’t work out is because out of the blue, he decided that he didn’t want any more chil­dren. It’s some­thing that we had dis­cussed (we both wanted two more), and then he didn’t. Hav­ing at least one more child is some­thing that I want, so I am not going to give that up. Now I make sure to know that up front before I even con­sider being with a guy.

He said that his brother had shown up with his two nieces, so I used that state­ment as an oppor­tu­nity to ask the ques­tion. I said how cute! Do you want any of your own? He responded that hav­ing chil­dren is some­thing that he hasn’t really wanted up to this point (he’s 33!), so he is unde­cided. I said oh ok. I’m really not here to waste my time. I am already com­pro­mis­ing on his height and accent, and now this? I’ve lost interest.

I watch “The Hills,” and that is some­thing the ther­a­pist said to Heidi. You need to be with some­one who wants the same things as you. She’s right. I guess that’s it.
