We recently had a dinner party, one couple, and four guests who were single.
After the party, one of my husband's comments was how much everyone there
travels. One of the guests left the party early because she was flying out
to Hawaii early the next morning. People talked about diving in the Red Sea,
a recent trip to Indonesia, the list went on and on. I said to DH that none
of those people had kids full-time. Even the couple only had one kid from a
previous marriage who they don't have custody of. It's a lot easier to go
places and have the money to travel if you're not raising kids.

Comments?


Oh definitely we would travel more if we didn't have kids.
We wouldn't have the costs associated with kidraising, and
we wouldn't have to buy tickets for them.

For people who thrive on travel, I guess this would be
a real drawback to having kids.
