Childfree by choice

i do find it a bit harder to find things to do that are appropriate for my family. i chalk that up to inexperience. before i found out i was gonna be dad, i spent a lot of time at bars and drinking with friends. not exactly the right environment for a child. so i think that gets better as he gets older and as i figure out where exactly children are welcome.

James and Ooza: If you don't mind me asking...was little James planned? The only reason I ask is b/c I know that James is only a few years younger than me (from your profile), and I know that a few of my friends are starting to have their own kids. One couple in particular was already ready to "settle down" and start the family about a year before she became pregnant. Were you both like, "Okay, let's do this!" ahead of time, therefore possibly making it easier to adjust to the different lifestyle?

I'm just curious, simply b/c I don't have that "frame of mind."
