Having kids has always been part of the plan for me and my wife but now I’m questioning everything. I’m 35 and my wife is 32 and we’ve been trying to start a family. However a recent disagreement about vaccinations has thrown a wrench into our plans and left us at an impasse.
Last weekend my relationship with my sister reached a breaking point. I’m a 20-year-old college student living at home to save money and my older sister Sarah (27F) has two young kids a 3-year-old boy and a 5-year-old girl.
