I guess I would be better about it if I actually believe the harpy aunts (oh god, please don't let any of my aunts ever read this blog!) actually cared. But they don't. They gossip and bad-mouth me behind my back, and I was working for more than 4 years before they realise I've graduated from the university. D'oh.<BR/><BR/>Happy New Year to you too in Korea. :)darkorpheushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02565452271408221461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914227.post-2892380967557735242008-02-08T15:30:00.000+08:002008-02-08T15:30:00.000+08:00It's not just Chinese families, sad to say. At my...It's not just Chinese families, sad to say. At my cousin's baby shower, the female relatives swarmed and attacked my other cousin who had married several years before but hadn't had children. One relative even told her that "your eggs start getting old at 27." She got defensive, but the way she handled it was to go on and on about how great her job is. I used to get crap about how I "needed" to have a brother or sister for my son, but now that he's grown that noise is finished. But it's always something: "How long do you intend to live in a foreign country?" Always. Something. But happy new year anyway, Dark Orpheus!Bybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10061186489010154661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914227.post-73968883528252243112008-02-08T07:20:00.000+08:002008-02-08T07:20:00.000+08:00Stefanie Ah...family. :)Between a puppies and chil...<B>Stefanie</B> Ah...family. :)<BR/><BR/>Between a puppies and children, I prefer puppies.

My husband's family knows we are not having children but they still wonder if my biological clock is ticking and when I will change my mind. Sigh. When I turned 20 many many moons ago. one of my grandmas told me I was officially an "old maid" because I wasn't married and had no children. Ah, family. :)Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943596258182968212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914227.post-12230605258125383182008-02-07T20:10:00.000+08:002008-02-07T20:10:00.000+08:00Yeah, but when you have your first child, it will ...Yeah, but when you have your first child, it will be "Are you having your second?"
