Sounds like you're butthurt because some people asked you when you're going to have kids...that's a petty thing to even give two seconds of thought on. People should worry less about what other people think of them. In your case, you've been asked a very common question. That doesn't equate to being judged.
Would you be okay if I asked you why you chose to have kids, or why you chose to have kids when you did?

This is funny, I'm generally a happy laid back guy. I really don't give a shite when people ask, but it bothers my wife and therefore it bothers me. And, I don't understand how people don't understand that there is a weird double standard in regards to asking about having kids. I don't judge or question you as to when/why you decided to have kids, and I'd appreciate the same from you.
When people ask I typically tell them that I haven't found the right hole yet.

Stop being so dramatic. No one is saying this but you
I didn't start a dear Facebook thread about it.
Whether it's rude, wrong, or right to ask someone certain questions....is not my concern. It's life, and it's going to happen. This is more worthwhile to complain about then the "fatty mcfatfat" bitching about not getting a small fry at McDonald's...but grow some skin and get over it.
This isn't directed at you, but some of the posters in here would bitch and complain if they didn't have something to complain about.
If everytime something happens or is said that you don't like, your thought is to post it to some form of social media, you have an issue. That was sort of my original point and all I did was ask the OP why he even started a thread about it. Essentially....why does he let it bother him enough to start a thread about it.
Peace to all, spent enough time in this thread.

What's worse is I think it might be starting to pressure my wife. We were not really thinking about it...the question kept coming and now were having that conversation a few times a week... there was no gradual progression it's just happening and I think that's in large part because it keeps getting brought up.
What's worse is another couple in her family is about to announce they are pregnant. They just got engaged and the guy still lives with his parents...and his parents are HAPPY about the news....so that shows you the mentality were dealing with here. Now were gonna look extra shitty in their eyes for being married with a house and no kids..

Would not bother me a bit. I started fairly young, and now that I've seen some 40 something year olds struggling with young children, I'm glad I did. When I turn 40, my youngest will be starting college.

I agree with this. As I've stated, I don't ask people personal questions. People will tell you things if and when they want you to know. However, there will always be people asking and doing things that will bother you and/or your wife. Hopefully you and her don't let this kind of thing bother you for more than a short moment, it's just not worth it.

doubt you're wrong lol I already told her I have no idea when I'll be "ready" from talking to my friend who has kids, you don't really get ready till it happens. I think I may just ask the wife for one more tailgating season before we pull the trigger...feel like that's reasonable

all about this.... but she's a blast to play drinking games with. Plus if she's sober she's gonna lose interest in the whole tailgate thing with the quickness.

Is this where I ask for parenting advice?

Oh, I definitely know this feeling
We have a few more "goals" to achieve before trying, but we expect to have those done in the next year or so. I just have to remind her that we're still young (I'm 31 and she's 27), and that although it appears that all of our friends have kids, it's really just her friends here in Lafayette who have kids. Only one of my Lafayette friends has kids, and none of our friends that we made in New Orleans while she was in school have kids.

It's funny how regional this mentality is All of my friends from NOLA waited a year or 2 after getting married to have kids at least. Everyone one of her married friends from CENLA announced they were pregnant what seemed like a month after being married. Not that either is right or wrong...to each their own... but I obvious subscribe to the first mentality

Yeah, we got married young and are on year 6 of being married without children. She was in school for 4 of those years though. I think it's more of a city versus rural mindset. None of my friends from bigger cities really are in a rush to have kids young (probably due to the cost of living and children), and I don't really know anyone in the Lafayette area that has been married for more than 5 years and is without children.

Ill keep it up though to see more people roll on through
Still, having your youngest kid at 22 years old is some 1800s shite

There is no "right time". This goes for marriage, kids, going back to school... .
You just have to do it.
