I see my friends, brothers, sisters, and cousins happily married and see them with their kids and wonder when i'm going to get married too. Just this year alone 5 of my family members have had kids and seeing them with their kids makes me jealous and wanting a kid too. Do you guys feel this way too?

Babies are just so cute and adorable.

Welcome to the club! What you are saying is so true. I can't tell you how many of my friends are calling with news of pregnancy or upcoming weddings. But, who cares! My life has its own path and I consider myself to be special. If it is takign this long for someone to come along, the person that God sends my way MUST be pretty damn special! LOL

Can't say as I do. I got the "well don't worry, women get married later in our family" talk just the other day. I'm only 25, and if I wanted to get married, or even have a relationship, I would, but I don't want to be settled yet. I enjoy everyone else's kids, but at the end of the day I'm glad to be by myself in the peace and quiet. One day, sure kids would be fine, but right now I'm just happy being single.
A lot of my friends and family are married or getting married soon, and that puts pressure on me sometimes, but I often tell them what they need to go is go buy a kitten or dog if they want me to have a grandchild for them. I won't bring a child into the world or get married just because they want me too, because that's the wrong reason. If you want to get married and have children, realize it's a major responsiblity. They're cute, yes, but babies can cry, spit, and then they aren't so cute anymore.

It has been a very long time. Most of my cousins were older than me. They got married and had kids before me, but I've been married 13 years now and have a daughter who will soon be 10.

You only see the small part of it all: the happy stuff. What you do miss is the fighting, the trying to scrounge up enough money to buy diapers and having to deal with the landlord because your rent is late, or dealing with a crying baby, a sick baby, messes in the house from the children, the kids fighting, the lack of sleep, the lack of money, the lack of time.
Kids are great but they are a lot of work.

I felt that way when my aunt and cousin were pregnant and gave birth around the same time. But a year later I became pregnant and gave birth..so I wasn't jealous of them anymore. I do tend to get jealous of happily married couples and/or couples getting married. I guess its a natural feeling if its something that you're missing in your life.

Yes. All the time. I think alot of people who are single do. Unless theyre just players or something. It gets a little scary if you think about it too much. Im always like "Oh my god...what if I never get married? Or what if I never get to have kids?" Its a scary thought but you cant let it cross your mind or bother you. Because eventually youll find Mr.Right...but for now look for Mr.Right Now...and eventually the now part will just fade away.

Give it time, everyone in my family got married by age 22, but my uncle was alone until he was 35, but now hes happily married with two beautiful children..I have a saying when it comes to love..it always comes and bites you on the *** when you least expect it. In the meanwhile spend your time with your friends and family and be patient. Good Luck!

Yes. I know what you mean. Most of my friends are married too and I feel like I'm being left out sometimes. I'd want to be married and have kids someday too.

I felt like that when I was not married, but you are doing the right thing by waiting or the right person to come along. Be patient it will happen.
Although I do understand how frustrating it is and how lonely the feeling is when you do not have that someone yet.
Hope you find that one person soon.

Not really.
You only see your relatives and their kids when they are at their best - you're not with them when they're up dealing with an ear infection at 3AM and they have to get up at 5 to get to work on time! The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence!!
