To me I see it as people wanting you to live the life they never got to like you said Tamara because of the decade they were in they were fround upon having a child over the age of 25.

My parents keep telling me what to do at 24 and I just say "Look you lived you life how you wanted too you made those choices, now let me make mine and let me live how I want to live!" (Sounds rude but they drive me insane at times ](*,) )

I have been to Japan twice and travelled half way around Australia, yeah I would love to do more travelling but we are contracted here with only a certain amount of time off per year. It doesn't worry us if we aren't travelling but we are in a beautiful part of Aust. and are happy to get away and see things around here first. You can always travel when you have a child or children whats the difference if you go when your a couple???? Your still going to be jet lagged from a long flight, arguing over which is the right way, cranky because your not in your comfort zone or own cosy bed, eating interesting foods and the rest of it. It's just that you have extra people with you and make wiser decisions on where to go.

It's not selfish at all (sorry for the ramble BTW) it's up to each person if they want to travel the world or not.

One of my friends wants to travel but her partner doesn't so she said she will be a mum and then maybe down the track she can convince him. It's each individual.
