You senile old bat; you hit menopause 20 years ago.

What happened to the babysitting gig where HE said let’s hold off?? His memory failing??

An exaggerating situation?

Adopt one.

It’s good to wait a couple of years. That way you can bond as a couple before adding the stress and joy of a newborn.

Hope this isn’t a dealbreaker..

Maybe Nicole needs some time to think about having kids.

Doubt that old Marcus will be that muscular…

Wait, you mean he can’t be the birthing parent?

Oh sure, NOW you get performance anxiety.

Yeah, Marcus, her biological alarm will go off long before that daymare becomes real.

“Now? But we’re broke!” :P :P :P

They got married too quickly. These are the things you discuss even before engagement.

all that should’ve been figured out way b4 marriage!

Sadly, my husband wasn’t ready for kids. When he was finally ready, I found out I needed a hysterectomy. Now, I am a widow with no family.

That is something you needed to talk about earlier. Even before you got engaged.

What if she never wants them? Children is definitely something a couple should agree upon prior to marriage.

Joe’s eyes in panel 2… :D

Marcus you shouldn’t have said you wanted a large family. You made her skittish.

Haven’t played golf for 40 years but, as I recall, every club hits the ball with the same force. It’s the clubs loft that determines the distance.

Immediate action not required.

Joe should just tell Marcus how expensive children are. We all know how he feels about spending money.

Sad news; Nicole, age 94, died in childbirth. Fortunately, the baby survived…

There IS such a thing as adoption…..

She’s a VERY smart woman.
