ADVICE GODDESS

SORRY, WRONG NUM-NUM

I love my boyfriend. We’ve been together two years. Recently, however, we’ve been experiencing conflict over the issue of children. He wants kids; I don’t. I’ve always felt strongly about this, and he said he was fine with this when we started dating. But he’s been bringing up the subject of kids a lot lately (I suspect because he’s thinking about popping the question). The discussions have grown fraught -- to the point where he was in tears at the end of an argument. I eventually said I could be open to kids because I love him and don’t want to lose him. But can this be healthy for us long-term? — Conflicted

Though many things in life come with the opportunity to push the “back” button, once you have a kid, you have a kid. You can’t just drop ‘em off at the fire station if they turn out to be precociously criminal – already hot-wiring cars at age seven. Deciding whether to have kids is a very recent state of affairs, coinciding with the development and availability of reliable birth control (starting in the late 1950s with the Lippes Loop IUD). For most of human history, unless a woman spent her fertile years all alone on one of those New Yorker cartoon desert islands, there was a good chance she’d have not just a child but the beginnings of a litter. There’s a widespread (and mistaken!) assumption that a woman who gives birth will immediately and unconditionally bond with her baby, explains anthropologist and primatologist Sarah Hrdy. Probably because of this, many people seem to believe the only thing stopping any woman from wanting a child is having yet to bring one into existence. In fact, neither humans nor other mammals “automatically nurture each baby born,” Hrdy observes. Clinical psychologist Idun Roseth and her colleagues, reviewing research on mother-infant bonding issues, report: “Most mothers find that feelings of affection come within a week from birth. However, some mothers are still struggling with this after many months. ... A small percentage may even have hostile feelings towards their infant.” In other words, the public has an overly rosy, sentimental – and scientifically incorrect – view of what’s often referred to as the “maternal instinct.” There is no such thing – and the term “instinct” is the problem. The actual scientific definition of an instinct is an innate behavior (“factory-installed” – present at birth rather than learned afterward) that members of a species perform automatically. An example is a baby’s crying – alerting everybody in earshot, “YO! I HAVE UNMET NEEDS!” (Nobody has to send their baby to crying school. It automatically wails its little head off when it’s wet, scared, cold, or wants a sip o’ nippy.) In contrast with automatic instinctual behavior, there’s behavior that’s learned as well as behavior that is only sometimes triggered in some members of a species. Accordingly, the misnamed “maternal instinct” would be better termed a maternal impulse or motivation. The impulse to nurture one’s infant is just one motivation that may arise in a woman. Hrdy has long emphasized that ambivalence and even rejection of an infant are other impulses a new mother may feel. (Unfortunately, the myth of instantly falling in love with one’s infant is so pervasive and strong that women who don’t experience this tend to feel there’s something wrong with them.) In reality, “maternal commitment” tends to emerge “piecemeal,” Hrdy explains, and is “chronically sensitive to external cues.” By “external cues,” she means a woman’s current context – such as whether she’s unable to adequately feed and protect her infant. War, famine, postpartum depression or even a new partner who doesn’t want another man’s child are contexts that may even trigger infanticide: a horrifying maternal impulse but a maternal impulse just the same. Thankfully, this impulse is relatively rare in our society, and many women (and men!) report “falling in love” with a child they never planned to have. Maybe...possibly...you’d become one of those “in-love” women and be wildly happy you’d had children. However, in your email, you repeatedly made it clear that you don’t want kids. You are only considering it because you love this man and don’t want to lose him – which is quite different from wanting children. You might ask friends who are parents to an infant and other young kids to let you spend a long weekend with them. Admittedly, this isn’t the same as parenting your own kids, but it might give you a sense of whether you’re actually up for the job – or whether you’re like me. Personally, though I have great respect for devoted, loving parents, if I were in charge of a thing that screams like it’s being eaten alive by a zombie, it would take about 20 minutes before there was grain alcohol in my coffee – and in someone’s sippy cup.

THE ARGONAUT REAL ESTATE Q&A

How important is it for the home you are selling- or buying- to be in “turnkey” or perfect condition?

I find this question to be more and more critical to my clients. I have found the evolution of buyer expectations for properties in pristine and fully remodeled condition to be fascinating. Having worked in this industry for more than 25 years, I’ve witnessed the real estate market through some of its best and worst of times. While the “Baby Boomer” generation has been the one to historically have had the most significant impact on real estate, each generation has brought their own take to what it means to be a property owner. Since the suburbs were created to accommodate the wave of Baby Boomers, they were often acquiring newly constructed properties. These children of the frugal “Greatest Generation” often stayed in their homes for decades. As many continue to do so, this has contributed to the current shortage of inventory. Their anticipated retirements and the downsizing that traditionally comes with it has been delayed multiple times- with the near extinction of pensions, the decimation of retirement funds wreaked by multiple financial crashes, and the continuing uncertainty brought by the Covid pandemic. Nonetheless, we are starting to see some movement. Prop 19 took away some of their incentive to pass property onto heirs rather than sell during their lifetime. People are starting to move forward with their plans as Covid vaccinations have freed people to leave their homes. The promising news of a medication for Covid brings optimism for the future. Slowly but steadily these long-time homeowners are ready to list their homes for sale. Many sellers have upgraded and remodeled their homes. Supplemented with proper staging, these sellers will be rewarded by a frenzy of buyers willing to pay anything, and then pay even more, as many buyers desperately bid against each other for this prized home. For a home seller in 2021, this effort is well rewarded. What about the owners who have a perfectly lovely home, in good condition, but it hasn’t been updated in recent years? Not a problem for myself and my Gen-X buyers- we were raised to look for opportunity! Many of us would scoff at the idea of buying a premium priced home that had just been remodeled when we would rather spend less and remodel ourselves. We often preferred the chance to make our own plans and patted ourselves on the back for buying something that we knew we could increase in value in the future. So… when we have a home in need of being brought into the current design decade, it should be easy, right? Estimate the cost of remodel plus a little extra for the effort and subtract that from the sales price of the already remodeled home that just sold across the street. Well, not so fast. Gen-Xers have already had their families and settled in. Let me introduce you to the next generation- the Millenials. We all have known for years that Millenials have high expectations for employment and have been known for their willingness to live at home longer if it means not having to compromise for jobs that don’t meet their needs. They bring this same take no compromise agenda to the real estate market. They want what they want and they will not settle. Millenials are the first generation to know Airbnb- they travel and seek accomodations that are exquisitely furnished and cater to their needs. They expect no less for their homes. These buyers want the best- completely remodeled homes, often requesting the furnishings, as well. They don’t want to hear about potential- they don’t want to have to do anything but bring their suitcases and live their best life. I kind of admire this about them. They are willing to pay for this privilege, often paying prices that exceed appraised value. These buyers are not paying less for homes that need a little update- they just aren’t buying them. They would rather wait and fight over the ones that are finished. Give it a second thought- and consider the reward for taking the road a little less traveled.
