I am in my 70's. I never had any children or got married.. Friends would say who will take care of you when you are old, having children does not guarantee that they be there. I was working at job in my late 30's, and many of the young people there getting married and having children. They said I should have a child, while single and my parents could watch the child during the day. I thought that was insane, and also at that time both of my parents were not in great health. I thought that would be selfish of me to do that to my parents. I am never thought about having children and don't think I would have been a great parent. I like cats instead of kids. One thing I do is when someone is having a baby, I knit a baby blanket for them. Every person should live their life as they choose, and not listen to the pressure of those around them, it is your life, not theirs and you have to be true to yourself.
Totally agree! You have to live your life the way you want to and what makes you happy. I told both my daughters don’t ever feel that you have to have children! I told them I love them very much and I never once regretted having children. That’s what I wanted to be part of my life. I have one daughter that chose to have children and my other daughter has chosen not to have children. I support both of their decisions. Like I said, you have to live your own life and whatever pleases you and not to listen to others. You are given one life, you live it the way you want to.
It sounded like Fizz was on the treadmill, on one of those days when you're really not into it, and then suddenly got propelled [aka sling shotted] across the room!😅🤩😅
"Chalk", good one!😅 There's a certain point in time where suddenly all of your joints seem to have become jellified, where the simplest movements result in weeks, months, and maybe years of pain. Like sitting in a chair with feet propped up and legs crossed, and you decide to reach down and pull up - adjust one of the tongues in your shoes, and then your knee is killing you for three weeks afterwards!🫤 Like, WTH!
Some people are so driven, or guided, by stereotype in sooo many aspects. I heard someone say once that, "Parenthood is way over rated." They were kind of joking sbout it. While I don't wholly agree with that, at the same time I don't deny it either. Life is not a one-size-fits-all experience, jeez.

Beautifully said. Thank you, Pam!

I'm not sure what you know about Alice Hubbard of Roycroft (and her own fame), however I think you would have been friends. --old publisher monster
