hmmm
i already have semi-issues regarding being old and getting older so it troubles me when people say that i need to be getting a move on in certain areas in my life - specifically in the marriage and having kids department.
uh. excuse me. i have a few things to say about that:
1) i'm only 25. i've been with my bf for 4 years now. the first advancement in a relationship like that was co-habiting and we are still getting to grips with the whole thing. well more so me. if the friggin drink is finished why do you put the empty carton back in the fridge?!
ANYWAY.
2) my sister is dying for me to get married. uh. hello. are you planning to fund this so called wedding? no. let me tell you now that i don't have the fund-age myself and i am not asking my parents for help either. so wedding bells are no go UNTIL:
3) i qualify as a teacher. saved up a bit. worked a bit. acquired my own place AND a damn car. that won't take me another 10 years to do so these things can wait.
4) kids. are you mad? christ. i didn't haul my arse through the various stages of education to suddenly have my hands full with kiddies. i actually want to achieve something and working for 7 years in a store and 2 years in an office does not constitute as an achievement. something much more credible than that if you please. and i hate the whole idea of the guy working. i can work too so that doesn't mean i instantly turn into a breeding machine and stay at home and do homely things.
i just hate the whole idea behind getting old = marriage and kids. i'd like to have those things but i need to first achieve things for myself before i consign myself with that kind of responsibility.
