It's not true. Children are a blessing and these dumb hags should STFU. It's great having your own baby, they're adorable tiny people who quickly become adorable little rug rats who love singing for Mommy and drawing pictures for Daddy. Some babies cry a lot but many don't, many babies sleep most of the day and are easier to take care of than a new puppy, and even the loud ones usually settle into a sleep pattern quite quickly. It doesn't need to be expensive, people will happily give you boxes of baby clothes and old toys for free. You don't need to buy the brand new $900 car seat.
People who wait until they're "ready" for children die alone. Nobody in the history of being a parent was ever "ready", including your parents and theirs. But most people who have children wish they'd started earlier.
I am no longer asking. Have sex now.
