Yeah, I'm not too keen on my friends lifestyles either. Stresses me out sometimes just being around them.

I'm not planning on having kids anytime soon. I won't even finish college for another 2 or so years, and I plan on having something established by the time I do decide to have kids.

However, none of my friends really planned to have kids...just made some stupid mistakes...which sucks for them...but they aren't unhappy-they just live different lifestyles than I. They love their kids, but they definitely have to deal with a lot. Some don't do a very good job at it either, in fact I think they could all do much better-but hey, nothing is ever perfect.

I grew up with a young single mom and I am happy and turned out great as far as I am concerned, but I would like to see what it is like to not have to have kids and struggle and be single etc.
