Maybe when I'm 27/28 and I think that'll be the better decision for me since I want to travel so much. That way, I won't resent the kids for preventing me to realize dreams.

But no, these folks seem to find reproduction such a disgusting idea that even step-mothers whose step-children aren't living with them are generally not welcome there. Isn't that sick?
