Well I fell off when I didnt marry who she wanted me to. But I did get married and now we are starting foster care and looking to adopt. So we arent having our own (due to infertility and not wanting to waste money and energy on fertility treatment), and man is she upset. Saying things like "this just isnt what I wanted for you."<br /> But after reading all these comments it makes me feel positive about our decisions and happy for our future. Its okay to deviate from "the Plan". Thanks. You know what, my mother thinks that life should follow “the plan” to the T. Well I fell off when I didnt marry who she wanted me to.

I like getting feedback.<br /> <br /> My friend was ROFL over "the plan." She said I should have added in that you must be in your mid-twenties before you marry. She was 22 and then had her first baby after 1.5 years -- double whammy inviting lots of meddling.<br /> <br /> - Faith Thanks for the comments! I like getting feedback.

However, since my sister who is 14 months older then me already had 5 kids by the time I got married I got the "when are you going to have kids". and the "are you pregnant yet...?" when we weren't even trying. Once we hit the 2 year mark is when strangers or ppl we hardly knew started to ask the questions. oh yes, how very accurate!

That is WAY too accurate, in my experience. (For what it's worth, we ended up with three birthed children - boy, girl, girl. Boy, were people ticked when we chose to conceive #3 after we already had a boy AND a girl -- I mean, come on!!.....then we got the vasectomy (as per your chart) - and then adopted several children. We deviated so far from the flow chart that we finally stopped getting so many comments! But, lucky us, we still do get our share. Thanks for making me laugh! LOL – I laughed much at “the plan”.
