Daddy dilemma

My fiancee is 70 percent against kids. The clock is ticking, and it's up to me to convince her to do something I'm not sure about either.

    Ugh, more wishy-washy.

    This guy could be my husband (without the whole create to carry on the family line thing. Smiths =/= Rothschilds).

    I wish my husband could tell me definitely whether he wants kids or doesn't want them. I, too, can be persuaded, even though it would mean giving up a lot of what I want in life. (let's face it, private schools are expensive and public schools in San Francisco are NOT an option).

    I already have an 11 year old from a previous relationship, and I'm afraid my husband's going to stay in the grey area until my eggs expire (I'm NOT having a kid when I'm 40). Like Piper, I have the occasional worry he'll suddenly wake up, decide he wants kids, and leave me for a younger, more fertile woman.

    I like how the author captured the whole back and forth of this monumental decision.
