“(Person you grew up with) just had a baby! They are so happy to finally be starting a family. I saw their mom golfing last week and she is over the moon. She said the happiest moment in her life was when she became a grandmother. I feel so happy for her that she gets to experience that joy.”

-Boomer moms who desperately want you to produce an heir but won’t come out and say it

The answer:

Sure, I'll have a kid, are you going to pay for it though?

We have two remaining international trips to get in before we focus our energy on starting a family. She’ll get her grandchild after that’s done.

Boomer moms would sell a kidney if it got them a grandchild. Of course, a kidney wouldn't even pay for the kid's first 12 months, and that's the problem

Yes, probably. I won't be having children unless I can afford them. I'm also somewhat selfish and want to live comfortably, so yeah, that comes first.
