You might decide not to go work outside the home when the time comes. I know a few 'career women' who thought they'd be back at their desks six weeks after the baby was born who still haven't gone back six years and three kids later.

I think financially it would be impossible for me to stay off work. I'm definitely not in the most "supportive" company either when it comes to Maternity leave.

Aw, that sucks. This governement should do more to support parents who want to raise their own children.

I hardly think your relationship is stable enough for children!
It isn't good. £120 a week stat wouldn't even cover half the rent on a 2 bed in London.

I can honestly say that I am not looking at having children for another 5 years or so.

Don't have them at all. They f**k your life up.
I really want children one day.
Surely they'll only f**k my life up if I f**k theirs up.

The only plus, as far as I can see, is that if you're nice to them, they might look after you when you're old and mental.

Later in the show they will be debating if Hitler style moutaches will ever become popular again.
Oh bums. I forgot he was on that today.

Plus you can dress them up in cute outfits when they get to about 5.
... that about covers it I think.

Although when they're about 15 or 16 they will have their hot nubile friends over for pyjama parties and pillow fights. Which is nice.

I hope you're not talking about a prospective son here.

Especially seeing as far as I experienced, parties like that happen at 13 or 14, not 16!

Says the girl reading a play promoting underage sex and teen suicide!
A) It's for my course at uni.
B) You say that like I wrote it.
C) It's a great work of literature, without a scene of prepubescent pillow fights in underwear to be detected.
