my neighbors always joke that they are paying me to take birth control by babysitting. because sometimes, spending hours and hours and hours and hours with the same kids day in day out really is like birth control.
Author's Response:
Well, babysitting can certainly be discouraging:) I know I lose patience with my cousin's daughter after quarter of an hour:D But I think it's different with your own kids:)

That was cute. Such a seventeen year old! And a little bit familiar since I was vehemently anti-kid for most of my life (and of course now I have an almost 2 year old...). Good mother-daughter dialogue.
Author's Response: Thanks:) Yeah, I think we all go through anti-kids phases:)

I am really enjoying a Jan-focused story. Looking forward to the rest of it. :)

I really like this one. Jan's mom knows what she's talking about! Especially this: "her vision of adulthood will change at least ten times in the next few years".
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I think a lot of girls go through an anti-kids phase in their late teens (I know I did!), but then their opinions on this and many other matters change - so that's why I wrote a teenage!Jan chapter.
