No kids please

Now that I'm married, the question I'm most asked by well-intentioned folks is, "Bila nak beranak?"

Not that it's any of your business, makcik, but hubby and I are most contented with our lifestyles at the moment and we don't want some snot-nosed little terror ruling us from his or her crib. Of course, someday I do want kids but not right now.

Right now, we're still busy enjoying life, each other (and trust me, we've enjoyed each other in a LOT of places) and most importantly, freedom to do as we want.

You know the old joke where the man refers to his wife as the old ball and chain? Well I think that applies to kids instead.

I have a friend who has 3 young boys and she hasn't had a good night's sleep in 6 years. SIX years! Another friend just had a baby and he's gone goo goo ga ga quite literally over the excitement and tiredness.

And then there are those with teenagers and I don't need to tell you what a nightmare they are.

I love all these kids but from afar. I'm not quite ready yet to dive into motherhood, and hubby is fine with that, so back off, makciks.

Till next time, this is Kucing Gatal signing out with a childless and happy Meow.
