There are also quite a few people who will judge you for doing the opposite. Having babies, choosing to stay home and raise them instead of pursuing a career (right now), etc. Your phrases "wifey-poo" and "popping out babies" are demonstrative of just that. The instant most people find out I'm a stay at home mom they treat me like I have the IQ of a fourth grader. Or else I get borderline insults. Doesn't bother me. I'm secure with my choices.
