I'm in my mid 20s and I see more and more people my age(or slightly younger) having kids, something I've been recently growing wistful of.
I went to the hair salon yesterday. The girl who did my hair was very nice and a good conversationalist, so I don't think she meant any harm nor offense. This girl was my age, and later it was revealed that she's married with 2 kids of her own.
A good part of our convo was about how I really want to buy a house, esp since the market is good and my rent keeps skyrocketing to rip-off proportions. She related and said that she's looking to buy too. Please note: Now I've been obsessing about homebuying even more than I've been obsessing about babies. I get offended any time someone implies that I'm not "ready" or "capable" to buy a house. Also, during our convo, I never specified that I was indeed childless.
Then she asked, "Well, since you don't have any children, what's wrong with you just continuing to rent for a while longer?"
