Kids ARE a huge deal!
I find owning a cat hard enough!
A couple of my friends have kids, I'm 32 this year and still can't see me having any (well, I CAN'T have kids, but can't see me adopting any, etc,) any time soon. freaks me out. And I'm female. It seems to be an unwritten law that women WANT to have kids. No.....I don't! Not the mother type.
I don't think you need to worry, if you aren't ready you aren't ready. What IS boring is hanging around friends who are suddenly constantly talking about their kids, instead of interesting stuff we used to talk about!
