I think your honesty is fantastic,when I was young it was expected we girls were going to grow up and have kids,after raising 7 kids,19 grandkids and a great grand child on the way,I will say if I had it to do over again,I wouldn't have kids,yes I love the ones I have and there family's,yet , themif I am to be totally honest,I would have been just fine with my yorkies,you don't have to pay for college,replace cars,worry wondering what they are doing,making sure you did a great job,yep,yorkies have the same dr bills,and I have figured out how to spoil them rotton,but then its ok,cause if you don't like my yorkies,please don't come around,gee you can't say that with kids,plus never has one of my yorkies called me in the middle of the night ,saying they wrecked my car...to me its a no brainer
