WE HAVE SECOND GRADERS. WTH???
TCBITW is a middle schooler and her little brother is a fifth grader. It doesn't make any sense, they where born like three years ago.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

Because books.
I can't believe Sara's in third grade. She was four months old when I joined the board. She's going to be EIGHT in November.
I would have liked to have a child and a husband, and now...that seems like something that can't really happen.
Untrue. There's your seven-year goal right there.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
It seems like a really specific speed-date topic, though.

I probably wouldn't mention it then, but what do I know? I married I guy I met was seventeen. If he croaks, I'm toast.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why is wanting a husband and kids at 38 any worse than wanting them at 25?

I wouldn't feel safe giving birth to a kid at 38, but I'd probably make a reasonably unEvil Stepmother.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Allyson, my twin sister had a divorce and another bad ending to a five year relationship before meeting her awesome husband four years ago and finally getting pregnant. Crazier things have happened!

I am totally down with that.
I have a childhood friend in SF who is promising me cuties if I come up and visit him. SF--so many reasons to go, and yet I never seem to.

Or adoptive mother? I mean, you've still got plenty of good options!
