<p>[later] afternoon: since kaela n' i recently had our 1st anniversary n' attended mason's 2nd b.day party, ppl including us have wondered when we'll have our 1st kid. &nbsp; we've been married 4 1 yr now, n' i s'ppose some ppl think that's 'nuff of a "honeymoon" period or whatever u call the time u spend as a married couple w/o kids. &nbsp; i dunno. &nbsp; it cms like some "younger generation" types always tell us to wait as long as possible b4 having kids, while the "ol' skool" folks pressure us hard to have kids asap. &nbsp; most non.asians n' non 1st gen asian.ams tell us to wait, but "asian" asians especially family / relatives ask 4 kids. &nbsp; sung wants us to have kids. &nbsp; traditionally, ppl followed a very strikt timeline, i s'ppose:
<ol>
<li>graduate hi.skool n' go to college (18 yrs old)</li>
<li>(4 yrs later) graduate college</li>
<li>go to grad skool (optional)</li>
<li>get a job (early 20s)</li>
<li>get married (mid.20s)</li>
<li>have kids (b4 30)</li>
</ol>
obviously, ppl these days (in amerikkka) r having kids (or "starting families") later n' later. &nbsp; i think ppl put off having kids mostly cos'f career. &nbsp; i think ppl also mostly put off marriage cos'f career. &nbsp; [later] i dunno. &nbsp; i think most'f my friends r still unmarried n' w/o kids, but i somehow always have lots'f younger friends.
