After dealing with over a year of trying to knock up :tits: 'the normal way' and it never working, I just would wholeheartedly recommend against planning your life around a theoretical CF.
2/3 of my friends can't do it...
I think this will be more and more the norm when most people wait until nearly 40 to have kids. Then you're left with rolling the dice on really expensive :science: , adopting unknown used kid, or just giving up and realizing you're living the fucking dream DINK life.

Yea you can always stuff the crotchfruit in the back of pretty much anything including BRZ. Sure its inconvenient but it surely can be done.

We went down that exact same road over 20 years ago and when it didn't happen we were :ohwell: and sailed off to DINK (and sometimes SINK) lyfe ZFG and never looked back.

FWIW we planned to have a :baby: already with pregnancy starting in early 2021 and here we are, no :baby:

:baby: is far from a guarantee, so may as well do what makes you happy in the meantime.
I’m sorry Griff. That sounds really tough to go through.

Thanks man, but honestly. it's all good so far. Personally I am pretty cool with having a kid or not, I think there are major pros and cons to both sides and we have fulfilling lives as-is. The wife is a bit more for it, but she waffles quite a bit as well.

It'll work out however it should work out.

Damn that stinks. We already know we can't go the normal route so we have a doctor appointment next week to learn the next steps.

Fuuuuck. I really have to stop looking around. Just keep my sights set on hopefully a poorsche or poorvette in a couple years.

:gorf: is paid off in 3 months. High interest rates. Worst time to buy. But the urge to :plac: is strong despite it being a terrible idea.

It is perfect family friendly daily but the sad reality is the R only gets driven on weekends. It's probably not wise to have a payment on a car that sits in the garage all week.

Of course with hindsight I never would've gotten another R, but pre pandemic it made sense as I was slogging 40 miles each way on the turnpike. Now that :tits: and I work in the same place, I drive the Rav everyday and the commute is not a happy one in either R or M3.

It's to northeast philly and it's street parking. Potholes, busted up nissans everywhere, and stop and go traffic. Never really get above 40. It's just easier to take the rav.
