I belong to the Day in My Life community here on LJ, and although it posts directly to my friends list, I must admit that I don't read all, or even half, of the entries. For some reason, it seems like the type of entry I'm most likely to read is any posted by a young married housewife with children (no older than 24 or 25). I'm not exactly sure why. Yes, I do have a bit of an obsession with having babies (For my characters in The Sims, four children is a small family). It could also be that such a life is so radically different from mine... I've spent about the same amount of my 20s single as I have attached, am 27, and have never been married, engaged, or pregnant. It's also that I just find such a life strange and mysterious to me - No job! Living with kid(s) and a husband! Major responsibilities involve cooking, cleaning, shopping, and caring for children! Maybe a part of it appeals to me. At the same time... I think a life like that would bore the hell out of me and make me really depressed. It also seems like some kind of alternate reality to me like... wow... women still get married in their late teens or early twenties, have kids, and stay home with them? Crazy and weird!
