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.
